Every Lexus key comes with a microchip which must be programmed in order to communicate with the immobiliser system in your vehicle.lexus car keys TheKeyLab takes a lot of time and specialized equipment to allow this procedure to be completed correctly. Each model has its own procedure for programming. Replacing a lost or damaged key or fob can be a costly task and one you should leave to professionals unless you have the proper tools and knowledge.You'll need to replace the batteries in your smart key or traditional key. Both keys operate by turning the barrel of the ignition. This can be done by yourself, but you will need an inexpensive Phillips Screwdriver, a 20p coin and a paperclip. On the back of the fob, you will see either one or two screws, unscrew them and put them in a safe place (they're tiny and easy to lose). Remove the fob and you will see an indentation of circular shape for the key made from metal, take the battery out (using the paperclip) and then insert the new battery, making sure it's facing the right way up. Clip the inside of the metal key back together.RemotesReplacing the Lexus remote or fob is complicated and requires skilled locksmiths with the right tools and experience. Some models require the transponder on the key to be programmed in order to function with the immobiliser system of the car. The Lexus models use different methods to program these chips. This is accomplished by using a specific device that sends an electronic signal to the chip which matches the code used to unlock the doors and start the engine.Certain Lexus cars are equipped with a single piece of hardware that includes the key head and remote. They are more simple to replace since no separate chip is required. This type of key is also a bit cheaper.No matter what type of key no matter what type of key it is, all fobs eventually run out of battery power.

Finally, clip the inside of the fob back to its original position and replace the key with the metal.Transponder ChipsNearly all new cars made since 1995 include transponder chips in the key head to disarm the immobiliser system. If you've got a car key with a chip, the head is covered with a plastic cover which can be pulled off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. Making a replacement key, or fob that is made using a transponder chip is a multi-stage process which includes accurate cutting of the replacement keys as well as programming the transponder chip so that it can synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser system.Transponders are electronic chip equipped with Non-Volatile memory (NVM) that houses a set of windings (very fine wire wrapped around tubes) that resemble ones in an electric motor. The windings generate a coded message that the car is able to read. If the code is correct then the car will allow you to start it.There are two types of transponder chips. The first is called the 80-bit and the other is known as the circle + (General Motors). The first one can be reused, but has to be unlocked using a special machine in order to work in a different vehicle that is compatible. The second is more difficult to use as the old ones can be broken, drilled, or toss out when keycases are changed. They are able to be salvaged however, to use with an ad-hoc key that does not require a battery to operate.Immobiliser SystemsImmobiliser systems are electronic security measures which prevent thieves from starting up your vehicle. It works by sending a signal from your vehicle to your key when you attempt to start it. The electronic chip in the key responds by sending a unique number of codes that must match the one of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes don't coincide, your engine will shut down immediately to stop theft.Modern smart keys and fobs are equipped with an embedded transponder that can store electronic security information in a format that is not easily copied. When your fob or key is installed in the ignition it transmits this code to a device within the ECU. The ECU is able to compare this code with the one that is stored in its memory, and activates both the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they match. If the codes do not match the engine won't start, even when the ignition circuit has been short-circuited by a burglar.Replacing a fob or key is a multi-stage procedure that involves precise cutting of the new blade for the key and programming it to work with your car's immobiliser system. There are a variety of immobiliser systems that are used in different models and years and each one requires the use of a unique programming method. We utilize Ross-Tech software to ensure that your replacement key is programmed correctly for the best performance and security.
