Certain models require the transponder on the key to be programmed to allow it to communicate with the immobiliser systems of the car. The Lexus models employ different methods to program these chips. This is accomplished by using an instrument that sends an electronic signal to the chip which matches the code used to unlock the doors and start the engine.

Certain Lexus cars are designed with a single piece of hardware that includes the key head and the remote. They are more simple to replace since no separate chip is required. This type of key is also less expensive.

The process of getting a replacement key fob made with a transponder chip is a multi-stage process which includes precise cutting of the key replacements and programming the transponder chip in order to synch up with the vehicle's immobiliser system.

A transponder is a chip with Non-Volatile Memory. It contains a set windings, which are delicate wires that are twisted around a tube. They look similar to those in an electric motor. These windings produce a coded message that the car can read. If the code is correct the car will begin to move.

There are two kinds of transponder chips. One known as the 80 bit, and the other known as a circle + (General Motors). The first kind is reusable, but must be delocked using a specific machine in order to work on a vehicle that is compatible with the.

Immobiliser Systems

An immobiliser is a security measure that uses electronic technology that prevents thieves from starting your car.

When the fob or key is inserted into the ignition, they transmit this code to the ECU. The ECU then compares it with the code in its memory and then activates the fuel system and ignition circuit if the two match. If the codes don't match the engine won't start even in the event that the ignition circuit is short-circuited by a thief.
