I found Bell Lexus of North Scottsdale has the fob for $116.46 (including shipping). I am waiting to hear if they can get me the emergency key.

Has anyone else purchased items from Bell Lexus?
Any other dealerships that you would suggest checking?
It pays to call around. The other Lexus dealer north of me wants $202 for the fob, $97 for the key and a whopping $120 to program for a total of $419. I called the Lexus dealer near Pittsburgh around the corner from my brother and the fob was $137, the emergency key was $80 and programming is $35 for a total of $252. The variation is crazy.

And that is why I am only calling Lexus dealerships. Why would a Lexus dealership sell me a key that has already been programed and risk me reporting them to Lexus management?

And for what it is worth, my understanding is that, if you are tech savvy, you CAN reprogram a key. However, it is much more trouble than I want to go to. You just have to have the right software.

Default So a happy ending to your story?

I can’t find my wife’s. It’s been missing for 2 months. We’ll be in the Gulf Coast region of FL next month, and the Phoenix area in March. No dealer here in MT
