🔧 PRO TIP
The 1998 Lexus LS uses a remote head key where the fob and the ignition key are one unit. The transponder chip sits inside the head of the key itself, not in a separate fob. That matters because if the remote portion dies, the key still needs to carry a valid transponder signal to start the car. A lot of owners focus on the remote not working and miss the fact that there are two separate systems built into the same piece of plastic. The CR1616 battery in there is on the smaller side and drains faster than people expect, especially on a car this age where the fob may have been sitting unused. Swap the battery before assuming anything else is wrong.

1998 Lexus LS Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy over at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard had just picked up a 1998 Lexus LS from a private seller. Clean car, low miles for the year, one key. The seller told him getting a spare was easy. He believed that until he called the Lexus dealer.

The dealer quoted him a number that made him stop and read it back out loud. He found me online and asked if that was normal. I told him it was a normal dealer number, not a normal locksmith number, and to meet me at the harbor.

I drove out, confirmed the key type, checked the factory fob ID against what was in his hand, and got to work. Cut a new blade to the vehicle, programmed the transponder, and synced the remote portion so lock, unlock, and the third button all fired clean. Tested it at every door. Started the car twice. Whole thing took about forty minutes including the time it took him to find parking for his boat trailer.

He paid a fraction of what the dealer wanted and left with two working keys instead of one. The part that stuck with me was that he almost just lived with one key because the dealer price felt like something you just had to accept on a Lexus. You don't.

“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.”

“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.”

Lexus LS Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

I'm locked out with no spare. Can you come to me in Channel Islands Harbor?
Yes. That's the whole point of mobile service. Call me and I'll come to wherever the car is sitting in Oxnard. I carry the key blanks and programming equipment on the van, so there's nothing that has to happen at a shop. You don't need a tow, you don't need a ride, and you don't need to wait for a dealer appointment. On a 1998 Lexus LS with no working key, the dealer's answer is almost always "tow it in." Mine is to just drive to you.
The dealer said I have to tow my Lexus in for key work. Is that actually true?
What do I need to show to prove I own the vehicle?
My remote stopped working but the key still starts the car. Do I need a whole new key?
I bought a used replacement fob online. Will it work if I just swap the battery in?
