I only have one key for a 2012 ct200h. Does anyone have recommendations on the most cost efficient way to add another key fob? is this something that can be done DIY? I'm trying to avoid going to a Lexus dealer and paying high dealer costs.

Thanks!

Yeah it's pretty pricey to get it replaced. You cannot do it yourself unless you have the programming tool to duplicate the key fob. You can buy another key fob from ebay and bring it to the dealer to have it programmed. Call the dealer and ask how much does it cost to have it replaced and programmed. You might save a little if you buy it from ebay then have it programmed. Some locksmiths do program key fobs as well. Good luck.

I believe it is something that can be done DIY. I don't have advice for you yet. I'm having key issues of my own. I will let you know how I go, but I'm quite sure it can be done DIY.
Don't lose the key you have.

Did you figure out a way to do it yourself?

You can do this by downloading the Techstream software and using an obd cable.

It's not easy to do this that's the reason locksmiths and dealers are needed for key replacement.

It is very easy to program your own keys. I bought a bootleg cable and toyota technet on ebay for around $30 and programmed my own credit card key.

Yeah! that's true in all sense, Locksmith and Dealers have been always called when you are looking for key replacement or lost car keys.

I recently bought my car used and it only came with 1 key. I bought a used key from a forum member, ordered the Techstream software and cable from eBay for $17 and am attempting to program the key this weekend. It involves resetting both keys and then reprogramming them. Not looking forward to the time period when no keys are registered to the car, but hopefully everything goes smoothly. I’ll report back!

I successfully coded a used key using techstream software from eBay. It requires resetting both keys and reprogramming. If anyone wants to do this let me know I’ll be happy to help. I have extra tokens that are needed to reset the keys also.

Can you share the whole procedure of doing it by own so that i can program it by myself and save cost from hiring locksmith brooklyn.
