Thank you. I emailed my dealer and got the following response. Initially they said not doable. Then i sent a link to this thread:I had a locksmith do it. Was about $18. I had to call around to find a locksmith that could do it (one other quoted me $50 and most could not do it in my town).
Thank you. I emailed my dealer and got the following response. Initially they said not doable. Then i sent a link to this thread:
“My fault, my bad....He checked it by your vin number, which is what we do when we check any part. However, the one exception to that is the credit card key. When you check it on the parts catalog, it says no go but you are correct. So credit card key is also 2 parts and is $394.07. And, I was wrong on programming too. Programming a reg key or credit car key is $94.50. To program you must have one key with all the buttons working.”
Thats the planYikes. Get one online and a techstream cable!
I got mine for $65 on ebay, bought the one that someone posted the link to a while back. Waiting for it to get unlocked at the moment.What is the best price you guys are getting for the credit card remote?
Yikes. Get one online and a techstream cable!

OK. What to do with the two sided emergency key if you can't use a one sided lexus key? I had the locksmith use a borescope to see if the LC lock really has tumblers/wafers on both sides. Unfortunately, the lock has action on both sides.
> I can put the emergency key on my keyring, but wasn't the point to get stuff off the key ring?
> Magnetic key holder hidden somewhere? Duct tape the key somewhere in case its needed? Magnetic holder can slide or bounce off and not sure I want the key where someone might find it.
> Is the only concern that the battery goes dead in the smart card? Could hide a battery somewhere. Its an odd size you're not likely to find in a 7-11. Any other concerns about smart card failures?
> Lexus used to make a 2 sided key that slipped into a credit card sized holder. My 99 GS came with one. Wonder if they're still available.
So if you're using the smart card key, what did you do, if anything, for your 2 sided emergency key?
Yeah, sorry. Forgot. If car battery dies, you'd need the emergency key just to be able to jump the LC. Gotta carry a house key so what's one more key I guess. The old Lexus wallet key is looking better and better.I stated above that a one sided key would not work, I had already confirmed with a locksmith.
I carried an extra battery when I had my 11. The only issue is if the car battery dies. Then no entry to pop hood...

There is plenty of video on YouTube. Here is the one I usedI have key card on the way to me. Can someone post instructions how to program it with techstream? I know how to change configuration options but have not done yet a key. Thx!

Lexus service is much nicer. Don't expect the same from Toyota dealerWill totally confirm OP’s info. Bought said key, took it to the local Lexus shop and they coded it to the car for for free! Awesome stuff.
