No matter if you have a standard Lexus key that switches on the ignition or a smart key for your car, which starts by pressing a button, in time the battery inside the fob will deplete. It's easy to replace it with the help of a paperclip. Simply take out the old battery, insert the new one (refer to the owner's manual for the type of battery that you need) Then, clip it back in the appropriate spot.

Keys

Lexus keys aren't simple to replace and require a specialist locksmith for car keys to make a functioning spare. Every Lexus key is equipped with a microchip that needs to be programmed in order to sync with the immobiliser system in your vehicle.

This procedure takes time and special equipment to do correctly, and every model has its own unique method of programming. Replacing remotes or keys is a pricey task that you should leave to professionals, unless you are equipped with the right tools and expertise.

If you have a traditional key that is turned on in the ignition barrel, or a smart key that starts the car at the push of a button either way, they will need their batteries replaced. This can be done by yourself, but you will need the smallest Phillips Screwdriver, 20p coins and a paperclip. There are two or three screws on the back of the key fob. Unscrew them, and then store them in a safe place (they are small and easy to lose). The fob can be removed to reveal a circular indentation for the metal key, pop the battery out (using the paperclip) and then insert the new one making sure it's facing the right way up. Then, clip the outside of the key back to the fob.

Remotes

Lexus remotes and fobs can be difficult to replace and require locksmiths who are well-versed and have the proper tools. Some models require that the transponder chip contained in the key be reprogrammed in order to work with the immobiliser of the car. These chips are programmed by different methods depending on the model of Lexus. This is done using an instrument that sends an electronic signal to the chip that matches the code used to open the doors and start the engine.

Certain Lexus cars are equipped with a single unit that incorporates the key head as well as the remote. These are much easier to replace because there is no separate chip. This type of key is also a bit less expensive.

Whatever the type of key, all fobs eventually run out of battery power. This could be a difficult experience, but it's possible to get your Lexus back up and running with a little know-how. Start by reading the owner's guide to determine the type of battery you need and then locate the replacement. Find a small hole on the inside of your fob. Insert the coin (20p works well) into the hole and then twist. You should be able to see an open area that you can remove with the help of a paperclip.

Next, pop the old battery out and replace the new one. Be sure to insert the battery using the proper the polarity. Clip the inside of the fob together, then insert the key made of metal.

The head of a key that includes a transponder chips can be removed to reveal a steel L-shaped key. A transponder-chip replacement keys or fob is a process that involves multiple stages. It involves cutting the keys with precision and programming the chip to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser.

Transponders are chips that has Non-Volatile Memory. It is comprised of a set of windings, which are fine wires coiled around the tube. They look like the ones in an electric motor. The windings create a coded signal for the car to read. If the code is correct the car will start.

There are two kinds of transponder chip. The one is known as the 80-bit and the other is known as the circle + (General Motors). The former is reusable but must be delocked by a specific machine in order to be used in a compatible vehicle. The second kind is more difficult to use due to the fact that the old ones can be damaged, broken or taken away when key cases are changed. However they can be used with a service-key which does not require a battery.

Immobiliser Systems

An immobiliser is a security measure that uses electronic technology that prevents thieves from starting your vehicle. It operates by sending a signal from the vehicle to your key when you attempt to start it. The chip inside the key responds by sending a unique code that must match the one of the vehicle in order for it to start. If the codes do not coincide, your engine will stop immediately to stop theft.

Modern smart keys and fobs are equipped with embedded transponder chips that stores security information in a format that can't be easily duplicated. When your fob or key is installed in the ignition it transmits this code to a receiver inside the ECU. The ECU then compares it with the code that is stored in its memory, and activates the ignition and fuel system circuit if the two match. If the codes don't match, the engine will not start, even if the ignition circuit is cut off by a criminal.

The process of replacing a key or fob involves multiple steps that include cutting the new key blade precisely and programming it to ensure that it is compatible with your car's systems. Each immobiliser is unique and has its own programming procedure. We use Ross-Tech to ensure that the replacement key is correctly programmed. This will give you maximum performance and security.
