Lexus LS key replacement and programming
LS is Lexus’s flagship sedan and often got new key technology first, including early Smart Access. Some LS models use a thin card-style key.
LS key systems by model year
Year ranges follow LS generations and are approximate. Trim, build date and factory options can change the system within a year, so we confirm it from your VIN before dispatch.

Lost every LS key?
If no working key remains, we can program a new key to many Lexus vehicles at the car. Smart Access models take longer than turn-key models, and we confirm whether you need a master or valet key from your VIN first.

Important compatibility notice — final key compatibility must be confirmed
The key images, vehicle models, and year ranges shown on this page are provided as a general identification guide and may not apply to every vehicle. The manufacturer may use different key systems within the same model year depending on trim level, production date, manufacturing location, ignition type, and factory equipment. Final compatibility must be confirmed using the vehicle’s VIN, ignition type, existing key or fob, and vehicle information before service. The images are representative examples and do not guarantee an exact visual match.
A current registration or title and matching government-issued photo identification must be verified before automotive key, lock, or immobilizer service is performed.
