Some models require that the transponder chip within the key be reprogrammed in order to work with the vehicle's immobiliser system. The chips are programmed using different methods based on the model of Lexus. This is done with an electronic device that transmits an electronic signal to the chip that matches the code used to unlock the doors and start the engine.

Certain Lexus vehicles are designed with a system that combines the key head and remote. These are easier to replace, as there is no separate chip to replace. This type of key can also be a bit less expensive.

Transponder Chips

More or less all new cars made since 1995 include transponder chips embedded in 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. The process of getting a replacement key fob that is made using transponder chips is a multi-stage method that involves precise cutting of key replacements and programming the transponder chip to synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser.

A transponder is an electronic chip equipped with Non-Volatile memory (NVM) that has a set of windings (very fine wire wrapped around the tube) which look similar to ones in an electric motor. These windings form a coded signal for the car to read. If the code is correct then the car will allow you to start it.

There are two types of transponder chip, one known as the 80 bit and the other one is called a circle + (General Motors). The former can be reused however it must be unlocked by a special machine to work in another compatible vehicle. The second kind is more difficult to use since the old ones can be damaged, broken or removed when key cases are changed. However, they can be used with a key-service that does not require batteries.

Immobiliser Systems

An immobiliser system is an electronic security measure which prevents thieves from opening your vehicle. It operates by sending an electronic signal from your car to the key each time you try to start it. The electronic chip in your key responds with a unique code which must match the one in the vehicle in order to start. If the codes don't match, the engine will stop immediately, and stop theft of your vehicle.

Modern smart keys and fobs have an embedded transponder that stores electronic security information in a format that is not easily copied. When the fob or key are inserted in the ignition, they send this code to the ECU. The ECU examines the code against the one it has stored in its memory, and then activates both the fuel system as well as the ignition circuit if they match. If the codes do not match then the engine will not start even when the ignition circuit has been cut off by a criminal.

The replacement of a key or fob involves multiple steps that include cutting the new blade accurately and programming it to ensure that it can be synced with your car's security system. There are a variety of immobiliser systems that are used in different models and years and each needs the use of a unique programming method.
