❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Q1: How do I know if I need the Short Blade or Long Blade?
A: Lexus used two blade lengths for these models. The TOY48 is the "Short" version (approx. 40mm). The TOY40 is the "Long" version (approx. 50mm). Measure your original blade before ordering.
Q2: Can I program this key myself?
A: No. 4C chip keys require specialized diagnostic tools or cloning machines. On-board (manual) programming is not available for these Lexus models.
Q3: Is this an OEM Lexus key?
A: No, this is a professional-grade aftermarket replacement. It provides the same security and functional performance as the original at a significant wholesale discount.
Q4: Do I need to cut the key?
A: Yes. The blade is delivered uncut and must be cut to fit your vehicle's locks by a professional.
Q5: Will this work for my 2002 Lexus RX300?
A: Yes, most 2002 RX300 models use the TOY48 short blade and 4C chip provided in this listing.
Q6: What is a 4C chip?
A: The 4C was the first transponder chip used by Toyota/Lexus. It is a "Fixed Code" chip, which is less complex than the later "Rolling Code" chips like the 4D67.
Q7: How fast is shipping?
A: We process and ship orders in 1-3 business days. Domestic shipping within the US typically takes 3-7 business days.
