Brand New Key
I bought a second-hand 2002 RX300. I learned it had only one key. No duplicate, no fob. My local LEXUS dealer told me that, to get another key and fob, they would have to reprogram the ECU, etc. etc., at a cost of $5000.00!!!
Even extra regular keys can't be made without the $500 activity first. Does anyone know of a better way to get more keys?

Welcome to Club Lexus
Please read through the sticky threads. That will help you understand how the security system works. You may prefer a quick answer here, but there is already a wealth of information put together by members. And it is fun reading, if you recently acquired RX.
There are cheap solutions available, provided you possess 'Master Key'.
You can also search on Master key.
