1998 Lexus SC Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Over in Wilson Park in Oxnard, a woman had her 1998 SC sitting in the driveway with one dead key and no spare. The remote head key she had was worn smooth on the blade, and the Lock button was mushy from years of pocket carry. She told me the car hadn't moved in two weeks because the key just stopped turning the ignition.
I decoded the door lock first, then cut a fresh blade on site. The original was so worn it had lost almost two depths on a couple of cuts. That alone explained the ignition binding. From there I connected my IM608 to the OBD port under the dash, read the immobilizer ECU, pulled the security seed, and registered the new 4C transponder to the system. The 1998 SC runs that older fixed-code transponder protocol, so the procedure is a clean read-and-write without a timed countdown.
Then the part I don't skip. I tested every button on the HYQ1512V from about 30 feet out in three directions. Lock, unlock, trunk. Then three consecutive starts, key in, key out, key in. I walked around and tested the doors from both sides.
She stood on the porch watching the whole thing. When I started it the third time, she just nodded and said "that's more than the dealer would have done." She wasn't wrong.

“I lost my Honda Passport key and called EZ Car Keyz. He came out and made a new key in under five minutes. Legendary service.”
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
“About 15 minutes after calling, he was already at my home. I had lost my original Ford key and he made and programmed a new one on the spot. Very fast, very professional.”
