Replacing it is as simple as a paperclip. Simply pop the old battery out and then insert the new one (refer to the owner's manual to determine which kind of battery you need) and then clip it back into the correct position. Keys Lexus keys can be difficult to replace. A professional locksmith is needed to make an original replacement that works. This is because each Lexus key has an embedded microchip that must be programmed to work in conjunction with your vehicle's immobiliser and if it's not, it'll not start. It takes a lot time and special equipment for this process to be carried out correctly. Each model comes with its own set of programming procedures. Replacing a key or remote fob is a costly job and should be left to experts unless you have the proper tools and knowledge. If you have a traditional key that turns on the ignition barrel, or a smart key that can start the car at the touch of an arrow either way, they will need their batteries replaced. It's easy to do it yourself however, you'll require the smallest Phillips Screwdriver, 20p coin and a paperclip. You will find two or three screws on the back of the fob for the key.

Remove the battery using the paperclip and insert the new battery, ensuring that it's placed correctly. Then, clip the inside of the key back together. Remotes Replacing a Lexus remote or fob is an extremely complex process that requires skilled locksmiths equipped with the right tools and expertise. Certain models require that the transponder chip within the key be reprogrammed in order to work with the vehicle's immobiliser system. These chips are programmed by different methods, based on the model of Lexus. This is done using an electronic device that transmits an indication to the chip which matches the code used to open the doors and start the engine. Some Lexus vehicles are designed with a system that combines the key head and remote. replacement lexus keys are easier to replace since there is no separate chip to replace. This kind of key is also a bit less expensive. All fobs eventually lose their battery power, no matter the kind of key. It can be quite frustrating however, with a little bit of knowledge you can get your Lexus back to normal. Check out the owner's manual to determine what type of battery you require. Find the replacement. Find a small opening on the inside of your fob. Insert an amount of money (20p works well) into the hole and twist. This should reveal the flat spot, which you can use a paper clip to remove. Then, take out the battery that was used and replace it with the new one. Make sure you insert the battery with the correct polarity. Clip the inside of the fob together, then insert the key metal. Transponder Chips The majority of new cars built since 1995 have transponder chips in the key head to disable the immobiliser system. The head of a key that includes a transponder chips can be removed to reveal an L-shaped key. A transponder chip replacement key or fob is a process that involves multiple stages. It involves cutting keys precisely and programming the chip to connect with the vehicle's immobiliser. Transponders are electronic chip equipped with Non-Volatile memory (NVM) that houses a set of windings (very fine wire that is wrapped around a tube) that look like the ones found in an electric motor. The windings create a coded signal that the car can read. If the code is correct the car will start. There are two kinds of transponder chip, one known as the 80 bit and the other is known as a circle + (General Motors). The former is reusable but it needs to be unlocked by a specific machine in order to work in another compatible vehicle. The latter one is more difficult since the earlier ones are often broken, drilled through or discarded when key cases are replaced. They can be salvaged, however and used with a service key that doesn't require a battery in order to function. Immobiliser Systems Immobiliser systems are electronic security devices which prevent thieves from starting your car. It works by sending an electronic signal from your car to the key whenever you try to start it. The electronic chip in your key responds by sending a unique code that must match the one in the vehicle to start. If the codes do not match, the engine will immediately shut down to stop theft. Modern smart keys and fobs feature an embedded transponder chip that stores security information in a format that can't be easily duplicated. When the key or fob are placed in the ignition, they send this code to the ECU. The ECU is then able to compare it with the code stored in its memory and activates the fuel system and ignition circuit if they match. If the codes do not match, the engine won't be able to start – even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit. The replacement of keys or fobs involves a multi-stage procedure that includes cutting the new key blade with precision and programming it to ensure that it is compatible with the car's system. There are a variety of immobilisers that are available in various years and models and each has its own unique programming procedure.
