Hi all,

First post since moving over from LOC- I had my first IS200 new back in 2005, then moved to a diesel 250, then a sucession of BM's and as I'm no longer in receipt of a car allowance I picked myself up a 2004/5 IS300 last week.

Car is faultless aside from a couple of stone chips etc.

Anyway, I'm waiting on another key coming through, but in the meantime I thought I'd pick up a SH key on the bay along with a new case and get it cut and programmed.

So, keys been cut today and works fine, however, do you think I can program it to accept the immobiliser- can I ****...

Tried every method described on here and LOC and nothing seems to work...

Has anyone got any advice?? (I'm loathe to post on the 'other site' as traffic is such that posts go unanswered for days), whereas heres just a little bit more lively!

Will post some pics up soon- allthough I spent most of yesterday washing, polishing and waxing, only to come out this morning to see it covered in tree pollen..

Cheers,

J

Firstly welcome to the Outlaws.

Might be worth asking a friend to follow the programming tips for you, as some have said it can be hit and miss.
There are key locksmith companies that can reprogrammed but this costs a few £££££

Cool, thanks for all the advice..

I'll try another couple of times and then either..

admit defeat and

take it to the dealer for coding (needs an MOT in the next couple of days anyway)

go back to the key cutting place and (as they do transponder keys anyway) get them to copy it over- I dont know why I didnt think of this when they cut the key yesterday....

Jason If you go to the dealer ask his price first as i think they charge around £800 for a reprogrammed key.

Seriously???

From the bits and pieces I've read on here, and the other side, shouldnt cost more than £50 to have it done?
(someone also mentioned at the dealers they work at they charge £20...)

Will investigate and revert..
