2004 Lexus IS Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
People lose all their Lexus keys more often than you'd think. The most common story isn't dramatic. They bought the car used with one fob, planned to get a spare, and years later that fob gives out.
A customer at her condo in Encinitas had her only smart key to her 2004 Lexus IS crack along the seam and the emergency blade snapped when she tried manual entry. Fob housing in one hand, blade stuck in the door lock. Zero working keys.
I used my VVDI2 to read the transponder data from the cracked fob's chip, which was still intact inside the broken housing. That saved time because I could skip a full immobilizer reset. I extracted the blade fragment, decoded the lock, and cut two fresh keys. Her fob, FCC ID HYQ1512V, was a 3-button smart key rebuilt into a new shell with the salvaged chip and board. I showed her the chip from the cracked key so she could see it was still good.
She went from zero keys to two in about 45 minutes. Total was around $185. A full AKL would cost more, and the dealer wanted $395 either way. If you have the broken fob, bring it.

“Fast, affordable, and a great price. Marco did an amazing job and made a key for our Nissan Kicks quickly and professionally. Everything worked perfectly.”
“I got locked out of my vehicle and also lost my key. Marco came out, made a new key for my Toyota, and got me back on the road. He was professional, friendly, and clearly knows what he is doing.”
“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”
