Morning all

Apologies if this question is already on the forums as I tried to navigate around looking for a similar query

Having recently picked up my 450h I was only given one key so ideally like a spare , have been quoted £400-500 from auto locksmiths as they have to use Lexus apparently. I have found a full key with chip etc on eBay for under £50 just requires programming. Is it a simple as having an auto locksmith reprogram or would it be back to Lexus? Would the price to reprogram not make it worthwhile and just pay up and get a spare direct from Lexus?

Could this link provide you the necessary answer?

Key programming

Also, a very quick request on Google seems to suggest there are also others who can assist.

I did it for my 450h.

Got a key from eBay £40. Sent it away to get it wiped clean £20. Reprogrammed myself using Techstream £60 software.

Still not cheap to DIY it.
