Remotes

Lexus remotes and fobs aren't easy to replace and require locksmiths who are both well-versed and have the proper tools. Certain models require that the transponder chip within the key be programmed to function with the immobiliser system of the car. The Lexus models use different methods to program these chips.

Certain Lexus cars are designed with a unit that combines the key head and the remote. They are much easier to replace because there is no separate chip needed. This kind of key is also cheaper.

A transponder is an electronic chip equipped with Non-Volatile memory (NVM) that has a set of windings (very fine wire wrapped around tubes) which look similar to ones in an electric motor. These windings produce a coded message that the car will read. If the code is correct it will allow the car to start.

There are two kinds of transponder chips, the first is called the 80-bit, while the second is known as the circle + (General Motors).
