Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

2005 Lexus RX Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Guy parked his RX in the premium lot at the airport, caught a week-long business trip, and came back to a fob that did nothing. No lock chirp, no lights, no response. He tried the backup trick he read about online, holding the fob up to the ignition area. The engine turned over but the dash threw a key warning and it stalled right back out. That spooked him.

It was a Tuesday afternoon. The Lexus dealer's first available slot was Thursday, and that was just for the diagnostic, not the fix. A tow from the airport lot was going to be its own expense on top of everything else. He found EZ Car Keyz and called.

I was in the premium lot within 35 minutes. The first thing I did was swap the CR2016 right there on the hood. Battery was stone dead. With a fresh cell in, the remote came back immediately and the immobilizer read came back clean. The key registrations were intact. The stall-out earlier was the immobilizer doing exactly what it should when the transponder signal was too weak to confirm properly.

Cleared the fault, tested every function, drove the car to the exit with him standing there watching. He made his afternoon meeting.

The dealer appointment sat on his calendar until I texted him to cancel it.
