Default Lost my keys!!!!!!

I lost my only Lexus key! I got only one, with the car.


What the hell can I do? Can I order a blank from somewhere, and get a dealer to cut it? Can they do that.

This really sucks. Ive got to go out in my Honda tonight

You can go to the dealer with your vin and regestration and they can make you another one. It'll problably be about $50-$70.

Do you have the little card with the key print in it so that the stealership can cut you a new one? If you don't have the card, I am sure the stealership can run your VIN and then get the codes to cut it or something.

its not that expensive for keys to be made for an sc unless you get the master key with all the buttons on it. shouldnt be no more than $90 tops.

it shouldnt cost that much. i lost my only key like a week ago. And a callled around for a Lexus dealership that makes keys (some doesnt have the mechine). it only took them 10 mins to make the key me for by providing my Pink Slip and only cost me 54 bucks! So try find a lexus dealer that makes keys and you can have one made in 10mins. Good LUck

just get a regular key made without the keyless using your vin it will be a lot cheaper. after you get that one go to a good local locksmith and they can make you more for a fraction of the cost. i live in Vernon Hills, IL and my locksmith is in Lake Forest. he made me spare lexus key for 10 bucks a piece including the cost of the blanks

good luck at the stealership

I need one with the remote. I surly dont want to have to use the key to unlock the doors.

A sponor here (sewell lexus) is running a special on keys. Im going to call them on monday.

Do you guys know, ...if I get the key from them, will my local dealer be able to program it for me?

what year is your car? reason im asking is i lost mine a few weeks ago. was really easy getting one cut by lexus just for $90 BUT the problem i ran into was i found out after having the key made that my ignition cylinder was changed.. so, just make sure yours is still the original. if so, then you should be good...

you lose your remote master, it is not only 360. you have to change the whole module... cost over 2000!!! they can not make a master key if you don't have a master key.
