Lexus Key Replacement - Replacing a Remote Or Fob    Whether you have a conventional Lexus key that turns in the ignition or a smart key for your car that activates with the push of an arrow, eventually the battery in the fob will deplete. Replacing it is as simple as a paperclip. Simply pop replacement lexus car keys www.g28carkeys.co.uk out, insert the new one (refer to your owner's manual to determine which kind of battery you require) and then clip it back in place.    Keys      Lexus keys aren't easy to replace. A specialist locksmith is required to design an appropriate replacement that functions. This is because each Lexus key contains an electronic chip that needs to be programmed to sync with your vehicle's immobiliser system in case it does not. If it doesn't, the vehicle will not start.    It requires a lot of time and specialized equipment to allow this procedure to be executed correctly. Each model has its own programming procedure. Replacing a lost or damaged key or fob is an expensive service and one you should leave to professionals unless you possess the right tools and know-how.    You will have to replace the batteries in your smart key or traditional key. Both keys work by turning the barrel of the ignition. It's a simple task to do, but you will need the smallest Phillips Screwdriver, 20p coin and paperclip. On the front of the fob, you will see one or two screws, unscrew them and put them in a safe location (they're small and can be lost). Take the fob off to reveal an indentation that is circular for the key made from metal, take the battery out (using the paperclip) and then put in the new battery, making sure it's the correct way up. Then clip the inside of the key back together.    Remotes    Replacing the Lexus remote or fob can be difficult and requires skilled locksmiths who have the right tools as well as knowledge. Certain models require the transponder on the key to be changed in order to function with the immobiliser systems of the car. The Lexus models employ different methods to program these chips. This is done by using a special device that sends a signal to the chip that matches the code used to unlock the doors and start the engine.    Certain Lexus vehicles are designed with a unit that combines the key head and the remote. These are easier to replace, as there is no separate chip required. This type of key can also be a bit less expensive.    No matter what type of key any fob eventually runs out of battery power. This can be a very frustrating experience, but it's possible to get your Lexus back on track with a little know-how. Start by reading the owner's manual for the type of battery you need and locate an alternative. Then, locate an opening inside of the fob. insert the coin (a 20p piece is a good choice) and twist. This should reveal a flat area that you can utilize a paperclip to take away.    Next, pop the old battery away and then insert the new one. Be sure to insert the battery with the correct direction of operation. Clip the two sides of your fob and insert the key metal.    Transponder Chips    Most new cars made since 1995 include transponder chips embedded in the key head to disarm the immobiliser system. The head of a key which is equipped with a transponder chip may be removed to reveal an L-shaped key. Having a replacement key or fob made with a transponder chip is a multi-stage method that includes accurate cutting of the replacement keys and programming the transponder chip to link up with the vehicle's immobiliser system.    A transponder is a type of chip that has Non-Volatile Memory. It is comprised of a set of windings that are fine wires coiled around the tube. They look like the ones 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 kinds of transponder chips. One is called the 80 bit and the other referred to as a circle + (General Motors). The former type is reusable but must be delocked by a special machine to function in a compatible vehicle. The second is more difficult to use as the old ones can be broken, drilled or toss out when keycases are changed. They can be salvaged however, to use with the service key, which doesn't need a battery to operate.    Immobiliser Systems    An immobiliser system is a digital security device that stops thieves from starting your car. It works by sending an electronic signal from your car to the key every time you try to start it. The electronic chip inside your key responds with a unique code which must match that of the vehicle to start. If the codes don't match, your engine will shut down immediately, and stop theft of your vehicle.    Modern smart keys and fobs come with an embedded transponder, which stores electronic security information in a format which is not easily copied. When your key or fob is placed in the ignition, it transmits the code to a receiver inside the ECU. The ECU analyzes this code in comparison to the one stored in its memory, and activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they match. If the codes don't match, your engine won't start - even if a thief tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.    The process of replacing the fob or key requires multiple steps that include cutting the new key blade accurately and programming it to ensure that it works with your car's system. There are many different immobiliser systems used in different models and years and each has its own unique programming procedure. We utilize Ross-Tech to ensure that the replacement key is correctly programmed. This will provide you with the best performance and security.
