Clip the the key back to. Remotes Lexus remotes and fobs can be difficult to replace and require locksmiths who are both knowledgeable and have the right tools. Certain models require that the chip inside the key be reprogrammed to function with the immobiliser system of the car. The chips are programmed with different methods based on the model of Lexus. This is accomplished by using a special device which sends a code chip to unlock the doors or start the engine. Some Lexus cars are constructed with a single unit which includes the key head and remote. These are easier to replace since there is no separate chip. This type of key can also be a bit cheaper. Whatever the type of key, all fobs eventually run out of battery power. It can be a frustrating experience but with a little bit of knowledge you can get your Lexus up and running again.

Transponder Chips The majority of new cars built since 1995 have transponder chips inside the key head that allow it to deactivate the immobiliser system. The head of a key that is equipped with a transponder chip may be removed to reveal an L-shaped key. A transponder-chip replacement key, also known as a fob is a multistage process. It involves cutting the keys precisely and programming the chip to communicate with the vehicle's immobiliser. Transponders are electronic chip that has Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) that contains a set of windings (very fine wire that is wrapped around tubes) that look like the ones found in an electric motor. These windings transmit a message that the car read. If the code is correct the car will begin to move. There are two types of transponder chip, one called the 80 bit and the other is known as a circle + (General Motors). The former type is reusable but it needs to be unlocked by a machine that is specially designed to be used in a compatible vehicle. The latter is a bit more difficult as the old keys are usually damaged or drilled through, or discarded when key cases are replaced. However, they can be utilized with a service key that does not require a battery. Immobiliser Systems Immobiliser systems are electronic security devices that deter thieves from starting up your car. It works by sending an electronic signal from the car to the key every time you try to start it. The chip inside your key responds by sending an individual code that must match that in the vehicle to start. If the codes don't match, your engine will stop immediately and stop the theft of your car. Modern smart keys and fobs come with embedded transponder chips that stores electronic security in a format that can't be duplicated. When the key or fob are placed in the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU is then able to compare it with the code that is stored in its memory and activates the ignition system and fuel circuit if the two match. If the codes do not match then the engine will not start, even when the ignition circuit has been short-circuited by a thief. Replacing a key or fob is a multi-stage process that requires precise cutting of the new blade for the key and programming it to connect with the immobiliser system of your vehicle. There are many different immobilisers that are available in various models and years, and each requires its own distinct programming process.
