Keys

Lexus keys are not easy to replace and require a professional locksmith for replacing car keys to make a functioning spare. Every Lexus key is equipped with an embedded microchip, which needs to be programmed to work with the immobiliser system of your vehicle.

Remotes

Replacing the Lexus remote or fob is difficult and requires skilled locksmiths who have the right tools as well as knowledge. Certain models require the transponder on the key to be programmed to work with the immobiliser systems of the car. The Lexus models use different methods to program these chips. This is done using a special device that sends a code to the chip to unlock the doors or to start the engine.

Certain lexus key shell vehicles are equipped with a unit that combines the key head and the remote. They are easy to replace because there is no separate chip to replace. This kind of key may also be a little less expensive.

Regardless of the key type any fob eventually runs out of battery power. It can be very frustrating however, with a little bit of knowledge you can get your Lexus up and running. Start by reading the owner's manual for the kind of battery you require and locate a replacement. Find a small hole on the inside of the fob. Insert the coin (20p is a good choice) into the hole and twist. The fob should be revealed as an unflattened area that you can employ a paperclip to remove.

Next, pop the old battery out and insert the new one. Be sure to insert the battery in the proper direction of operation. Finally, cut the inside of the fob back together and re-insert the metal key.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are in the keys of nearly all new cars produced since 1995. They can be used to disarm immobiliser systems. If you've got keys with a chip in it the head is covered with a plastic cover that can be pulled off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. Having a replacement key or fob made of a transponder chip is a multi-stage method that involves precise cutting of replacement keys and programming the transponder chip to link up with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

A transponder is an electronic device with Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that houses a set of windings (very fine wire twisted around tubes) that resemble ones found in an electric motor. The windings are coded to create a signal for the car to read. If the code is correct the car will start.

There are two kinds of transponder chips, one called the 80 bit and the other referred to as a circle + (General Motors). The former is reusable but needs to be unlocked by a machine that is specially designed to work in another compatible vehicle. The second type is more difficult to use since the older ones could be broken, drilled or toss out when keycases are changed. They can be salvaged, however, to use with an ad-hoc key that doesn't need a battery to operate.

Immobiliser Systems

Immobiliser systems are electronic security measures that deter thieves from starting up your vehicle. It operates by sending an electronic signal from the vehicle to your key each time you try to start it. The chip inside the key responds by sending a unique code which must match that of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes aren't compatible, the engine will stop immediately, preventing theft of your vehicle.

Modern smart keys and fobs are equipped with an embedded transponder which stores electronic security information in a format that can't be copied easily. When the fob or key are inserted in the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU examines the code against the one in its memory and activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they are compatible. If the codes do not match, your engine will not start - even if an armed robber attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

The procedure of replacing a key or fob involves a multi-stage process that includes cutting the new key blade with precision and programming it so that it is compatible with your car's system. Each immobiliser system is unique and has its own unique programming procedure. We employ Ross-Tech to ensure that the replacement key is correctly programmed. This will give you maximum performance and security.
