OK, without going into the embarrassing detail, I am now needing another smart key as one of mine has been ahem......damaged! Can anyone advise me what I can do or how to go about getting a replacement. I'm guessing a new key from lexus will be the same price as a deposit on a holiday in the Maldives. Cheapest answers will get a "like". Many thanks.

yes - best way is to get one from lexus - cost is around £180 including the programming - you will need to provide car ownership details.

Even if you buy a second key from the UK - you will still need to take it to lexus to get it programmed to perform smart entry and start functions.

don't be tempted to buy a cheap key from the USA - they do not work as they operate on a different frequency

Get four brilliant A' Level grades

Gain a place at Oxford where you can study for a degree in Physics

That has to be cheaper than getting one from a dealer, and having it programmed :whistling:

Do I get a like?

So if it's possible to buy another key in the UK, any idea on the cost of it being reprogrammed? Thanks.
