This is due to the fact that every Lexus key has a microchip that needs to be programmed to sync with the immobiliser system of your vehicle in case it does not. If it doesn't, the vehicle will not start. The process takes time and special equipment to do correctly, and every model has a distinct programing procedure. Replacing a key or remote fob is an expensive service and one you should leave to professionals unless your have the right tools and know-how.

Then, clip the inside of the key back to the fob. Remotes Lexus remotes and fobs can be difficult to replace and require locksmiths who are both experienced and possess the proper tools. Some models require the transponder on the key to be programmed to allow it to communicate with the immobiliser systems of the car. The Lexus models use different methods to program these chips. This is done using a special device which sends a code chip to unlock the doors or start the engine. Certain Lexus automobiles are built with a single piece of hardware that consists of the key head as well as the remote, and these are much easier to replace because there is no separate chip. This type of key is also cheaper. Whatever the type of key regardless of the type of key, all fobs eventually run out of battery power.

Insert an amount of money (20p is a good choice) into the hole and then twist. This should reveal the flat spot, which you can use a paper clip to take away. Then, remove the old battery and replace it with the new one. Be sure to insert the battery in the proper direction of operation. Then, clip the outside of the fob back together, and re-insert the metal key. Transponder Chips The majority of new cars built since 1995 have transponder chips in the key head that allow it to deactivate the immobiliser system. The head of a key which contains a transponder chip is able to be removed to reveal a metallic L-shaped key. A transponder-chip replacement key, also known as a fob is a multi-stage process. It involves cutting the keys accurately and programming the chip to connect with the vehicle immobiliser. A transponder is a chip with Non-Volatile Memory. It has a set of windings that are delicate wires that are twisted around a tube. They look similar to those in an electric motor. These windings produce a coded message that the car will read. If the code is correct it will allow the car to start. There are two kinds of transponder chip, one known as the 80 bit and the other known as a circle + (General Motors). The first type is reusable, however it needs to be delocked using a specific machine to function in a different vehicle that is compatible. The latter is a bit more difficult because the previous keys are often damaged and drilled or discarded when key cases are replaced. They are able to be salvaged however and used with a service key that does not require a battery to function. Immobiliser Systems Immobiliser systems are electronic security devices that stop thieves from starting up your car. It works by sending a signal from your car to the key when you attempt to start it. The electronic chip inside your key responds with an individual code that must match that in the vehicle in order to start. If the codes don't match, your engine will immediately shut down to prevent theft. Modern smart keys and fobs come with an embedded transponder, which stores electronic security information in a format which can't be copied easily. When the key or fob are placed in the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU is able to compare this code with the one it has stored in its memory, and then activates both the fuel system as well as the ignition circuit if they are compatible. If the codes don't match, your engine will not start – even if a thief tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit. Replacing a lost or damaged key is a multi-stage procedure which involves precise cutting the new blade for the key and programming it to work with the immobiliser system of your vehicle. There are a variety of immobiliser systems used in different years and models, and each requires an individual programming procedure. We use Ross-Tech to ensure that the replacement key is programmed correctly. This will give you the best performance and security.
