Security and Technology Expertise for Lexus
Lexus immobiliser and Smart Access systems combine encryption with rolling codes. Our technicians are trained to work with these systems safely and securely:
- Transponder and smart key programming aligned to the ECU/ID Box
- Immobiliser reset and pairing procedures for lost-all-keys scenarios
- EEPROM methods for certain ECUs when standard OBD2 programming isn’t available
- High-security laser key cutting matched to OEM specifications
- Remote central locking synchronisation and antenna fault diagnosis
- Battery management tips to prevent “smart key not detected” issues
We also advise on simple security upgrades and housekeeping—like retiring lost keys from the system after a theft or loss—to keep your Lexus secure.
Helpful Advice for Lexus Owners
- If you’ve lost all Lexus keys: Don’t tow to a dealer. As a mobile auto locksmith, we can often create and program new keys at your location, saving time and cost.
- If your smart key isn’t detected: Check for interference (other fobs/electronics), try your backup fob if you have one, and ensure the fob battery isn’t flat. If the problem persists, call us.
- After replacing a car battery: Some Lexus models require the remote to be resynchronised. We can reprogram if needed.
- Spare key saves hassle: A spare reduces the risk of being stranded and is often cheaper to add during a planned visit than in an emergency.

FAQs: Lexus Keys and Locks
Can you make a Lexus key without the original?
Yes. We can decode your locks, cut a new laser key blade, and program the transponder/smart system to your Lexus. This is a common “lost-all-keys” service and is often quicker than visiting a dealer.
Can you reprogram a used Lexus key fob?
Usually, Lexus fobs are “locked” to the original car, especially smart keys. In some cases, we can virginise and reprogram, but success depends on model/year. We’ll advise the best option, and often a new fob is the most reliable route.
How long does Lexus key replacement take?
Most roadside replacements take between 30–90 minutes once we arrive, depending on model, whether it’s a standard transponder or smart key, and immobiliser access. We focus on efficient dispatch, not fixed ETAs.
Will you damage my Lexus when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. In rare cases (for example, a failed lock mechanism), we’ll explain options and get your approval before any work that risks minor damage.
Do you cover evenings and weekends for emergencies?
Yes. Our emergency support prioritises urgent calls across the SL postcode region. See our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Slough page.
Is a locksmith cheaper than a Lexus dealer?
In many cases, yes—especially for mobile services like key replacement and programming where we come to you. For expectations and cost factors, visit our pricing page.
