Remotes Lexus remotes and fobs can be difficult to replace and require locksmiths who are knowledgeable and have the right tools. Some models require the transponder in the key to be programmed to work with the immobiliser systems of the car. The Lexus models use different methods to program these chips. This is accomplished making use of a special device that sends a code chip to unlock the doors or start the engine. Some Lexus models are built with a key head that is a combination of the key head and the remote. They are easy to replace, since there is no separate chip to replace.

Transponder Chips The majority of new cars manufactured after 1995 have transponder chips inside the key head to disarm the immobiliser system. The head of a key which is equipped with a transponder chip may be removed to reveal an L-shaped key. Having a replacement key or fob that is made using transponder chips is a multi-stage process that includes precise cutting of replacement keys as well as programming the transponder chip in order to synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser system. A transponder is a chip that has Non-Volatile Memory. It has a set windings which are fine wires that are wrapped around a tube. They look like those in an electric motor. These windings transmit a message that the car read. If the code is correct it will allow the car to start. There are two kinds of transponder chip. The one is known as the 80-bit while the other is called the circle + (General Motors). The first type can be reused, but has to be unlocked with a special machine to function in a different vehicle that is compatible. The second is more difficult to use because the older ones could be damaged, broken or thrown out when key cases are changed. However they can be used with a key-service that does not require a battery. Immobiliser Systems An immobiliser is an electronic security feature which prevents thieves from opening your car. It operates by sending an electronic signal from the vehicle to the key every time you attempt to start it. The electronic chip in the key responds by sending a unique code which must match the one of the vehicle to allow it to start. If the codes don't match, the engine will stop immediately, preventing theft of your vehicle. Modern smart keys and fobs are equipped with an embedded transponder that stores electronic security information in a format that is not easily copied. When your key or fob is installed in the ignition it transmits the code to a receiver inside the ECU. The ECU then compares it to the code that is stored in its memory and activates the ignition system and fuel circuit if they coincide. If lexus key www.thekeylab.co.uk don't match, your engine will not start, even if a burglar tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Each immobiliser system is unique and has its own programming procedure. We employ Ross-Tech to ensure that the replacement key is correctly programmed.
