Keyless Entry Remote Control Replacement Key Fob Cover Case Fit for Lexus ES GS GX is LS LX RX SC IS300 IS330 ES300 ES330 RX300 RX330 RX350 LX470 GS300 GS400 GS430 GX470 RX400h SC430 Key Fob Shell

I bought this to replace only the plastic housing for my ‘04 Lexus ES330. As you can see from the first picture, the plastic had broken at a crucial point where the screw is. But I had also super glued it in several other places prior to that because I was hoping it would last. Hoped on Amazon and found this and after reading other reviews I was a bit nervous but for me it works super easy. My actual key popped out of the old key super easily, but I think that was in part to the plastic around it had already broken loose. But installing the key to the new parts wasn’t hard at all. Just some force and it slid right on in, no tools needed. Then I just put everything back together. Mine is sealed on the sides and aligns perfectly. There is no Lexus logo on the back of the key, but I could care less about this (I saw other reviews where people wanted this on their key). This over all fix cost me $8 and was well worth it!

A bit of a tight fit, but everything does fit together even if I did need some gentle pressure with pliers to get the blade seated properly. A much, much better deal than having the mechanic replace the housing for over $100.

Plastic part of my old key broke. If you get an entire new blank key, the metal part of key is permanently attached to plastic part, so you cannot switch out your existing already cut metal key. But this solves that problem. It is just the outside plastic, somyou can put your good electronics and cut metal key in it and you're good as new!

The key does not fit easily into its plastic support fixture. I used a sharp xacto knife to scrape out the interior of the fixture until the key would slide into it and bottom out. A small amount of machine oil also helps. Once done, the remainder of the assembly fits well and functions as OEM. I would have given the item 5 stars, but for the fact that plastic shrinks as it cools in the molding process causing a very tight fit for the key.

Please note that this is not an easy DIY, could tell by orher reviews but it seemed the best for the lea$t, so I ordered.I did have some problems taking the old/ existing metal key from my 2002 Lexus RX300 out of the fob. The plastic piece that is designed to reinforce the front of the key when turning in the ignition seemed to be glued with some mighty strong adhesive. I tried to install the old key without replacing this piece, but it would not fit the new housing.After trying several times to get through the amazon bot to a human, then being transferred to the mfr’s bot, I posted this question to the item listing and received several answers within hours, 4 total replies. Other than marking the responses as helpful, there doesn't seem to be a way to acknowledge how helpful this was to me, as I didn't want to break something more than it was already! When one person said he ‘took a Dremel tool’ to grind it off, I was able to use small locking pliers to snap off the plastic in 3-4 bites.It also helped to look at the mfr photos to see what the metal key looked like, I wasn't sure what was inside the plastic piece.After getting my key out of the old case & deciding that I could not use any of the old, existing parts (goodbye to the gold Lexus L) the only challenge was inserting my key in the new reinforcing part; first determining which side would go UP, pushing the key in by tapping alternately a little on each side until it was in all the way.I can't tell anyone if it will last as long as the first key fob (20 years) but hopefully, it will last until I have to replace the car. Might be a good idea to order 2 of these.

I am borrowing my mother-in-law’s 2004 Lexus RX 330, and the key fob had a small part broken to the point where the metal key part was loose, and the battery was dead to boot!At first search, I found the same item that includes an uncut key for around the same price, so I am glad that I kept looking and found one that you can use your current key with.I was a little confused by the instructions on this site, because they don’t make too much sense, but in a video review I watched, the man said to use pliers to gently push the metal key into the plastic slot. This was the one thing I had a small issue with, because I was trying to push it in without pliers. Trying to push with your fingers just doesn’t work unless you have thumbs of steel. I was still nervous that it wouldn’t fit until I got home and grabbed my pliers.The metal key part slides tightly down into the frame of the smallest part where there’s a slot for the key to go. Slide the key carefully down all the way until the wide end settles at the opening, then use pliers and gently alternate pushing on each side until it’s completely in and the hole in the metal key matches the hole in the plastic part.Then it’s as simple as putting the key part that you just assembled into the bottom of the case first, and then push the keypad in to match the button holes. Snap the back cover on, screw in the little screw, and voila! There was even a piece of black tape covering the Lexus symbol, which I didn’t realize it had, so it was an unexpected plus!Before I assembled it, I opened up the keypad and replaced the dead battery, so now I have a practically brand new Lexus key fob that works like a charm, and cost under $10 including 2 Amazon basics lithium batteries. Furthermore, I received my order less than 24 hours after ordering. Thank you!!!

This product is not a correct fit for 2000 Lexus RX300. I have had this casing for only a few months on a car I don't drive much. It already has 3 cracks in the plastic and I have to press the lock button extra hard to get it to work. Buy another product this one is trash.

Bought this for my son, I broke his Lexus key in the ignition trying to move it for street sweeping day. He said it was harder than expected to assemble BUT is incredibly sturdy and he's happy it closely resembles the original key more than some other key fob cases. Says that little bit of extra effort was worth it.
