1998 Lexus LS Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy near the Woolworths Building downtown in Oxnard called me about his 1998 Lexus LS400. He'd bought it from a private seller a few weeks back. Clean UCF20 chassis, one key, and a verbal promise to "get a spare when you can."
He tried the Lexus dealer first. They quoted him for a single remote head key, programmed and cut. He called me and read the number off like he was reporting a crime. I told him that was a real dealer number but not the only number.
I met him in the parking area with his car. He handed me his working HYQ1512V and I cloned the 4C transponder chip onto a fresh blank using my programmer. No full system reset needed, no pulling the ECU, just a clean copy of the existing chip data so the immobilizer on his 89661-series ECM would recognize both keys. Cut the TOY48 blade on my mobile machine, popped in a new CR1616 for the remote, and synced the three buttons through the driver door lock cycle method that works on these pre-CAN bus Lexus models.
He sat on the curb scrolling his phone the whole time. Took maybe 20 minutes.
Now he has two working keys for a fraction of what the dealer wanted for one. And more importantly, if one ever goes missing, the next call is an add-a-key job instead of an all-keys-lost scenario. On a 1998 LS400, that difference in labor alone is significant.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
