2018 Lexus RX Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I was over near Serra Cross Park in Ventura when the collision center called. A customer's 2018 Lexus RX had just come out of repairs, and the body shop had already brought in another locksmith to sort out the key situation. That locksmith tried to register a new smart fob, hit an error partway through, and left. Walked right out.
The problem with a failed programming attempt on these is that it does not always leave things where they started. The system had moved into a fault state and was rejecting any new key registration attempt. The shop manager described it as the car just saying no to everything they tried after that.
I brought bench equipment for exactly this scenario. Pulled the relevant module, read the EEPROM data directly, identified where the fault state had been written in, and cleared it cleanly before rebuilding the key registration from scratch. No guessing. The new fob, matching the factory FCC ID on the original, registered on the first attempt once the module was back in a clean state.
I walked the body shop through what had happened, not to sell them on anything, but because they'd be calling locksmiths again someday and they deserved to know the difference between someone with the right tools and someone who quits when the screen goes red.
The whole job ran about 90 minutes on site. The dealer alternative was a flatbed, a multi-day wait, and a bill that would have been considerably more. The shop foreman just nodded and said they were calling me first next time.

Reviews from drivers who got keys fast
“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
