Remotes Replacing the Lexus remote or fob is complicated and requires expert locksmiths with both the right tools as well as knowledge. Some models require that the chip inside the key be changed in order to work with the immobiliser system of the car. The Lexus models use different methods to program these chips. This is done using a special device that sends an electronic signal to the chip which matches the code used to unlock the doors and start the engine. Certain Lexus models are built with a unit that combines the key head and the remote. They are simpler to replace because there is no separate chip needed. This type of key can also be a little less expensive. All fobs eventually lose battery power, regardless of the kind of key.

Transponder Chips Transponder chips are present in the key heads of almost all new cars manufactured since 1995. They can be used to disable immobiliser systems. The head of a key that is equipped with a transponder chip may be removed to reveal a metallic L-shaped key. Having a replacement key or fob that is made using transponder chips is a multi-stage procedure that involves precise cutting of replacement keys and programming the transponder chip so that it can synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser. Transponders are chips with Non-Volatile Memory. It has a set of windings which are fine wires coiled around a tube. They look like those in an electric motor. The windings are coded to create a signal that the car can read. If the code is correct then the car will allow you to start it up. There are two kinds of transponder chips, the first is called the 80-bit and the other is called the circle + (General Motors). The first one is reusable, but must be delocked using a specific machine to function in a different vehicle that is compatible. The second kind is more difficult to use due to the fact that the old ones can be damaged, drilled or removed when key cases are changed. They can be salvaged, however, to use with an ad-hoc key that doesn't need a battery to function. Immobiliser Systems An immobiliser system is a security measure that uses electronic technology that stops thieves from starting your car. It works by sending a signal from your vehicle to the key when you attempt to start it. The electronic chip inside the key responds by sending a unique code that must match the one of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes don't match, your engine will shut down immediately, preventing theft of your car. Modern smart keys and fobs contain an embedded transponder, which stores electronic security information in a format that can't be copied easily. When your key or fob is placed in the ignition, it transmits the code to a receiver inside the ECU. The ECU examines the code against the one that is stored in its memory and activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they match. If the codes don't match the engine won't start even when the ignition circuit is short-circuited by a thief. The replacement of keys or fobs involves a multi-stage process that includes cutting the new key blade precisely and programming it so that it syncs with your car's systems. There are a variety of immobiliser systems used in different models and years and each needs the use of a unique programming method.
