Remotes Lexus remotes and fobs aren't easy to replace and require locksmiths who are both knowledgeable and have the right tools. Some models require that the chip inside the key be reprogrammed in order to work with the immobiliser of the car. The Lexus models use different methods to program these chips. This is done with an instrument that sends an electrical signal to the chip that is compatible with the code used to unlock the doors and start the engine. Some Lexus models are built with a device that combines the key head and the remote. They are much easier to replace since there is no chip that needs to be replaced. This type of key can also be a little cheaper. All fobs eventually lose battery power, no matter the type of key.

Transponder Chips The majority of new cars since 1995 have transponder chips inside the head of the key to disable the immobiliser system. The head of a key that includes a transponder chips can be removed to reveal an L-shaped key. A transponder chip replacement key or fob is a process that involves multiple stages. It involves cutting the keys with precision and programming the chip to make it sync with the vehicle immobiliser. A transponder is a type of chip with Non-Volatile Memory. It is comprised of a set of windings that are fine wires wrapped around a tube. They resemble the ones in an electric motor. The windings generate a coded message that the car can read. If the code is correct, then the car will allow you to start it up. There are two types of transponder chip. The one is known as the 80-bit while the other is known as the circle + (General Motors). The former is reusable but must be delocked by a specific machine in order to work in another compatible vehicle. The second kind is more difficult to use as the old ones can be damaged, broken or removed when key cases are changed. However, they can be used with a service-key which doesn't require a battery. Immobiliser Systems An immobiliser system is a digital security device that prevents thieves from starting your vehicle. It operates by sending a signal from your vehicle to the key whenever you attempt to start it. The electronic chip inside the key responds by sending a unique code that must match that of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes don't match, your engine will shut off immediately to stop theft. Modern smart keys and fobs come with an embedded transponder which stores electronic security information in a format that is not easily copied. When the fob or key are inserted in the ignition, they send this code to the ECU. The ECU then compares it with the code stored in its memory and then activates the ignition system and fuel circuit if the two match. If the codes don't match then the engine will not start, even if the ignition circuit is short-circuited by a burglar. The replacement of the fob or key requires a multi-stage process that includes cutting the new blade with precision and programming it to ensure that it can be synced with your car's security system. There are a variety of immobiliser systems used in different models and years and each needs the use of a unique programming method. We employ Ross-Tech to ensure that the replacement key is programmed correctly. This will give you the highest performance and security.
