Key Programming **UPDATE***
Key Programming **UPDATE***
Upon receipt of the confirmation, I emailed back asking if they offered a discount (as my wife works for Toyota GB) and they knocked the price down to £37.50 (without asking for proof of my wife working for Toyota) including VAT- so anyone in a similar situation should also try for a discount..
Just another update, I'd booked it in for Saturday at Lexus Guildford.

Tech goes off to program and about 10 mins later comes back with the bad news...
It would appear that my 'Master' key isnt a 'Master' key, just a sub key that looks like a master...
They said they couldnt do anything with the spare key...
However, he had a stack of Autolocksmiths cards on his desk and gave me one telling me that the locksmith could do it as Lexus havent got the equipment..
So, just waiting for a quote back.
Will update in due course.

Spoke to the Auto Locksmith that the dealer recomended.
He can program the other key for me, (at 105 plus vat) but unfortunately that will be just a copy and not a master though, so any other spare keys I'd require will also cost another 105 to do.
I've spoken to a locksmiths in Gatwick who have told me they can make a master key for my Is300 from the current and the cost will be between 100 and 150 once they've had a chance to look at it..
Its booked in for Wednesday, so shall update after that.
