crowd sourced key card for lx450 and land cruiser

[Ghostrider I]

Get a key cut without the keyless module, put it on a keyring, attach it to a carabiner, and hide it.

It looks like, from my primitive Toyota eye, that the LX450 blank is different than the one I see for the wallet cards. If you're going to make one for Land Cruisers, make it to fit the all metal version, so it will have a thinner profile. The only key I see for the LX450 has the plastic head. But it's not a transponder key - so maybe you can figure something else out using just the blade portion?

thanks man.
not sure i am following all of this but the lexus dealer is telling me the wallet key is available but the credit card holder is not.
so i am going to try to do a wallet key holder. then people can cut their own key at the dealership.
then for the toyota i nay look into making a holder and seeing if there is a way to get a “US non laser cut” key in there.
does that sound about right?

It will probably work for your Tacoma, but the 80 key (for a Toyota badged one, that is) is a totally different design. I think the metal key is your most convenient option right now. Anything else would require some customization to get that Lexus style key card.

Did you ever buy any of these keys and get them cut successfully?

 

[DSRTRDR]

yeah. i went to the local lexus dealer. i was ordering the full size master and they kept bringing in the valet size key. and we went back and forth like three times.
i was hoping to do some research on it before doing this again o the wallet key with them.
so you have one of these for the toyota or the lexus?!

yes, I have one of these for my LX450

 

[mudgudgeon]

yeah. i was hoping to find that too.
i assume they don’t make that for the lexus?
but also, is there a wallet card for the toyota like the one shown for the lexus i guess is what i am asking.

Yes. Some Australian market cruisers had the wallet card, but Aussie cruisers use the lexus style internally cut key

I ordered the following and plan to take them to Sewell Lexus in Dallas to have the keys cut. I will report back on how successful I am.

Part No.: 90999-00220 - MASTER KEY, BLANK

Part No.: 90999-00178 - KEY, BLANK (key for card holder)

Part No.: 69518-50011 - Replaced by: 69518-50020 - CARD, SPARE KEY

I'm pretty sure the card has been discontinued and I'm going to get something that doesn't work for me. We shall see.

I got my order in today and this is what I got. I think it’s going to work. I spoke with a mobile locksmith the other day that was rekeying our office and he said there was a locksmith in town with the Sidewinder machine that can trace the key.

Update: I was able to get both new keys cut at my local locksmith today and now have two spares. Very happy to have some backup as the broken key I got with the truck was my only hope until now.

how much did all of that run you?

This Toyota key has the smallest imprint. When you remove the plastic part of the key this is what you are left with. I keep a minimal wallet and forget it’s in there. It’s saved my butt a few times. Easily as strong as any other key. Grinding the tabs takes 5 seconds if you wanted it smaller.

Part No.: 90999-00220 - $28.39
Part No.: 69518-50020 - $12.88
Part No.: 90999-00178 - $9.72
(purchased all from LexusPartsNow.com and I didn't do any shopping around; there may be savings to be had)

My local locksmith charged me $75 to cut both new keys since they "weren't their keys". Steep, I know, but the owner gave me a good deal on a safe a few years ago, so it's all good.

Any 100 series owners coming across this thread (as I've been trying to replace the wallet key for my 2006 LX470), I believe you'll need this instead:

69518-50010 Transponder Key Card
89786-60150 Transponder Key Sub
89786-60020 Transponder Key Sub CUT
90999-00178 Transponder Key Card Key
