Security, Coding And Programming For Lexus
Lexus uses robust immobiliser systems that pair keys to the vehicle’s ECU or smart entry module. Our process includes:
-
OBD2 key programming
- For compatible models, we connect via the OBD port, authenticate, and pair new keys.
-
EEPROM key programming
- For certain generations, especially when all keys are lost, we may safely read immobiliser data from the module’s memory (EEPROM) to add keys.
-
ECU/immobiliser programming
- Resetting or adapting modules after replacement or electrical faults.
-
Anti-theft best practice
- On lost or stolen keys, we can erase missing keys from the system so they no longer start the car. We can also provide a brief vehicle security assessment if requested.
Transparent, Helpful Advice
- We’ll always explain the options, costs, and likely time on site before we start.
- If a non-destructive method isn’t possible, we’ll tell you why and what minimal-impact alternative we recommend.
- We’ll advise on spare keys to avoid future emergencies and often offer savings when ordered alongside a main replacement.

Lexus Auto Locksmith FAQs
Can you make a Lexus key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new Lexus key or smart fob without the original using VIN/lock data and immobiliser programming. Depending on model/year, this may involve OBD2 programming or EEPROM/ECU immobiliser work. We’ll confirm the exact approach for your Lexus on the call.
My Lexus says “Key Not Detected”. What should I do?
First, try a fresh battery in the key fob and hold the fob close to the start button. If the message persists, the key or vehicle antenna/immobiliser may be at fault. We can diagnose on site and provide key fob repair, reprogramming, or replacement as needed. See our car key programming service.
How long does Lexus key programming take?
Simple OBD2 programming can be fairly quick, while all-keys-lost or EEPROM/immobiliser jobs take longer due to security steps. Most customers are back on the road within a single visit. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate once we know your model and situation.
Can you erase a lost or stolen Lexus key?
Yes. We can remove missing keys from your Lexus immobiliser so they cannot start the car, and then add your new keys. This is recommended after any theft or loss for security.
Will you damage my Lexus if you unlock it?
Our entry methods are non-destructive wherever possible. In rare cases where a different approach is necessary, we’ll explain the reason and your options first. Your vehicle’s integrity and security are our priority.
Is using a locksmith cheaper than going to a Lexus dealer?
Often, yes. You avoid towing/recovery, long wait times, and main dealer labour rates. We provide mobile convenience and competitive value. For details, request a locksmith quote in North West London.
