Inexpensive replacement key to fit 03 Lexus ES300

I got this key from a locksmith for $30. The key blade was about 1/4" longer than my original key blade, but it fitted my 2003 ES300 perfectly. I had a bit of trouble programming the transponder using the instructions that came with it. I searched the internet and found a forum that said which had the same instructions but with an extra step at the beginning (press brake and accelerator simultaneously) these instructions worked great Programming Steps: 1. Enter the car with a working pre-programmed key and close all doors, press the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time and release. 2. Within 5 seconds, insert a working programmed key into the ignition switch. Do not turn the key. 3. Within 15 seconds of inserting the ignition key, press and release the accelerator pedal 5 times 4. Within 20 seconds, the brake pedal Press and release 6 times 5. Within 10 seconds, pull out the working ends programmed key from the ignition lock. 6. Insert the freshly cut remote control key into the ignition switch within 10 seconds. 7. Press and release the accelerator once. The security light should now begin flashing, indicating that the computer is reading the new key and programming the system. 8. Leave the new key in the ignition switch for at least 60 seconds. When the security light stops flashing, the programming process should be complete. 9. Start the car with the new key to make sure the programming was successful. It also took me a few minutes to realize that my safety light wasn't on the instrument cluster above my steering wheel, but between the gear selector and the radio. The instructions provided worked exactly as described for programming the transmitter buttons (lock/unlock/trunk open). All in all, it was a pretty inexpensive way to get a fully functional replacement key.
