That does not work! for interior

I have a 2011 Lexus ES350 (made in Japan) and I really hope this product will work as my key fob IC board #271451-3370 matches the description. However, it didn't work, I tried many times. I called product support and they didn't answer, just said if it doesn't work they have nothing to tell me. Don't waste time and find a dealer or a qualified locksmith (cheaper) to order it.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There are cons

Forget cables and laptop - it took 3 minutes!

Wow! What a great solution. I spent about an hour looking for software and cables. The cable was $17 and the software license was $20 for two days. The instructions looked intimidating and scary. Dorman's solution is ingenious and worth every penny. I bought an open box with key for $71 plus tax. Saved me about $50 and a lot of heartache. Thank you!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Unbelievable price for a piggy bank

Doesn't work best in interior

That's a great idea, but it didn't work (the programmer detected and recognized my current key fob but didn't program the new key). I ordered a replacement, but otherwise it did not fit (the programmer was not recognized). Now I can't order another replacement although I called the manufacturer and they confirmed I should get another one. I will try again tomorrow. Maybe it's about Revain so people don't come back the same day they got them? In any case, it's frustrating that 2 out of 2 devices

Pros
  • It's OK!
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Definitely works fine Lexus ls600hl

This key fits my 08 ls600hl perfectly. At first Revain showed that this key was not compatible with my car but I still clicked on the image which had a product post saying it was compatible with the Lexus LS600. So I thought I have ls600hl, will it work? So I went along with it, be aware I would never take the risk if they didn't offer free returns, but since they did I felt like I had nothing to lose so I went ahead and ordered it. WOW, THE INSTALLATION WAS VERY EASY AND WORKS GREAT! And they…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Crumpled

Cheap and easy transmitter replacement

I only had one transmitter for my Lexus and I was afraid of what would happen if I lost or damaged it. I was wanting to spend a lot more on a used block and have it programmed by a locksmith when I found this. Programmed with no problems. It takes a locksmith to cut the metal key, but the programming is already done. A friend who worked at an auto parts store gave me some advice. He said many of them were returned by people who repeatedly failed to follow instructions and then just stopped…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Exchange possible

30 seconds to get the 2nd remote working - literally

Finding the OBD port (I had a cover on it) was the most time consuming part of this process. I just got a 2007 GS350 with only one remote, wanted a replacement remote but didn't want to pay more than $125 for factory stock plus theft fees for programming. Pressed the start button without holding the brake to put the car in on mode without starting the engine. The supplied OBD key is connected. Hold my work remote near the remote start button for 2 seconds until it beeps. Put it on the passenger

Pros
  • delivery was very quick
Cons
  • crumpled packaging

So, full disclosure: I ordered 2 and couldn't get them to work. I thought they were just bad out of the box. Wanted to leave a bad review until the following happened. Ordered an OEM fob and key from a local locksmith. They spent hours programming the key fob but to no avail. He registered the key but didn't accept it. He spent 2 hours programming an OEM key with his very expensive programmer. Couldn't get it to work. Eventually he reset the immobilizer and erased all the keys and didn't take…

Pros
  • Keyless entry systems
Cons
  • Not sure

Fob and keys work with 2008 Lexus.

As I said, worked and saved me $200. I will have to take it to a locksmith to have the key made. Update: I had to reduce the stars from 5 to 4. When I ordered this key ring, according to the description on the Internet, it was the right key ring and key for my car. The programming of the key fob worked perfectly as stated. When I took the key to the locksmith to have it duplicated, he showed me that the key did not fit my 2008 Lexus. They couldn't copy the key because it was of a completely…

Pros
  • Interior
Cons
  • Requires outlet

The product was much cheaper than the dealers. I managed to save about $250. The locksmith was able to program it in 20-30 minutes. This should let you know that if you've lost keyless entry, you won't be able to program it yourself. The locksmith should do this for you as they now have the programmer if it is just an extra keyless remote and you already have one then you can do it. I had to call AAA to open my door, remove the battery for the alarm then call a locksmith, I had to put the…

Pros
  • anti-theft
Cons
  • flimsy
