The Lexus transponder key, and how we set one up.
Lexus's short-blade key is common on cars that pair a stubby mechanical key with a separate remote or smart system, and on 2001 to 2010 models it often serves as the valet or backup key. This one is the chipped version: a short blade, a plain head and a transponder inside, with no buttons. Owners of later Lexus models with keyless entry sometimes find they need this key more than they expected. It is the key that opens the glovebox and trunk lock on some models, and on cars without push-button start it is what actually turns the ignition. What separates this listing from our 1997 to 2005 short-blade key is the chip generation and the models covered. Lexus moved to newer transponders during the 2000s, and a short-blade key with the wrong chip will turn the lock without starting the engine. Ask us to confirm for your trim/year before ordering. We cut the blade on our code machine and register the chip through the diagnostic port, with the car present and the owner's registration and photo ID at hand. With a working master key, adding this one is the easy job. Without one, we can still originate a key at the car.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 10 model years, 2001 to 2010, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- Canada made engine immobilisers mandatory on new cars from September 2007, so every year from then on in this range has a chip in the key.
