I heard this and was wondering how much truth there is to it. Apparently, if you go to the Lexus Dealer because of a lost key situation, they will have to replace the computer in your car. Replacing the computer in your vehicle can cost up to $2500.00 for the parts, labor, programming and new keys.

As for as I know if there are not any keys left the Computer Module would have to be replace and code it with ne RFID keys , it is very expensive.

Is up to the installer to test all wires with a DMM whenever possible.

The reason I was asking is because I saw this : https://www.a-1mobilelockandkey.com/reflash.htm
300 bucks is better than 2500 ------------- Prepare your future. It wasn't the lack of stones that killed the stone age.

You also get a key-number with the keys. If you give the dealers this key number, they can create a new key.

Thanks guys.....I'll dig deeper although both ideas seem plausible.
