This is a tutorialoffor those being the first 2005 GX470 owner to "program” the key.

I had a bit of a problem at first with programming the key but it was due to the "timing” where you had to press one or two of the buttons within 2 seconds after opening and closing the door…

For the record, by "programming” I mean that I was able to get a brand new replacement key to function with my 2005 GX470 for the following functions:

Lock doors

Unlock doors

Panic button

The key still had to go back to the dealer to have it keyed for the ignition kill start. But everything else worked fine.

Note: ignition kill start

The ignition kill start is the FACTORY LEXUS ignition starter kill. Embedded inthe theonboardLEXUS vehicle is a master component/computer that prevents any attempts to hotwire/jump startthe vehicle, like in the movies (eg, break glass, open door, rip panel from under steering wheel,ripwires and splice/short the wires…)

The LEXUS system I believe is called the IMMOBILIZER (?) and it will NOT allow the car/truck to start without the decoded encoded onto the KEY FOB. I told a fib to my dealer and told them that my "factory” key stopped working for the ignition, everything else worked, doors unlock/lock/panic,keyturns in (locksmith cut it for me…), dealer cheerfully reprogrammed the key no charge.
