Is there a toyota/lexus ecu immobilizer reset (add keys) shop in Washington DC I should use instead?
Most Washington DC shops don't keep the bench equipment for toyota/lexus ecu immobilizer reset (add keys) — they'd forward the module to a specialist anyway, which adds a markup and a middleman. Going direct to us is usually faster and cheaper. Cross-country northeast — about 3 days each way.
Does District of Columbia vehicle inspection or emissions testing affect this service?
The District of Columbia requires a biennial safety and emissions inspection for registered vehicles through the DMV. Our service is bench module programming only — you remain responsible for your vehicle's compliance with all District of Columbia and federal requirements.
Do you supply and cut the new key?
Yes — a new transponder key with the correct chip (4C for most ~1997–2003, 4D-67/68 for most ~2003–2010) is included with the service, cut and programmed so it's ready to start the car the moment the module goes back in. To cut the blade we need one of two things in the box: your driver- or passenger-side door lock (we decode the key code from it) or a current key blade we can copy — a blade cannot be cut from the VIN alone.
Which door lock do I send, and how do I remove it?
Either the driver- or passenger-side door lock cylinder works — most customers pull the passenger-side lock so the driver's door keeps working while the car is apart. On most of these models it comes out with the interior door panel off and one clip or screw. If you'd rather not pull a lock, a current key blade — even a non-transponder copy or a worn valet key — gives us the cuts instead.
