Remotes

Some models require the transponder within the key to be reprogrammed in order to function with the immobiliser system in the car. The chips are programmed with different methods, based on the model of Lexus. This is accomplished using a specific device that sends a code chip to unlock the doors or start the engine.

Certain Lexus cars are equipped with a single piece of hardware that consists of the key head and remote, and these are simpler to replace as no separate chip is required. This type of key is also cheaper.

If you've got a car key with a chip inside, the head is covered in a plastic cover that can be pulled off to reveal an L-shaped metal key. Having a replacement key or fob made of transponder chips is a multi-stage process which includes precise cutting of the replacement keys and programming the transponder chip to link up with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

Transponders are electronic chip with Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) which contains a set of windings (very fine wire coiled around tubes) that look like the ones in an electric motor. The windings generate a coded message that the car is able to read. If the code is correct the car will start.

There are two types of transponder chips, one known as the 80 bit, and the other one is called a circle + (General Motors). The first can be reused, but has to be unlocked using a special machine to function on a different vehicle compatible with it. The latter one is more difficult because the previous keys are often damaged or drilled through, or discarded when key cases are replaced.

If the codes do not match, the engine will shut off immediately to stop theft.

Modern smart keys and fobs are equipped with embedded transponder chips that stores security information in a format that cannot be duplicated. When your fob or key is placed in the ignition, it transmits the code to a device within the ECU. The ECU examines the code against the one that is stored in its memory, and activates the fuel system and the ignition circuit if they are compatible. If the codes do not match then the engine will not start, even in the event that the ignition circuit is cut off by a criminal.
