I’ve got a 2012 2005 Lexus GX 470, would this method still work?

Lost Keys
Costs vary widely: Basic keys: $50-$150, Transponder keys: $150-$300, Smart keys/fobs: $200-$800, Dealership replacements typically cost 20-50% more than locksmiths. Emergency/lockout service adds $50-$150.

Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Key Programming

Key Tip: Some locksmiths offer mobile key programming services
Key Fob Issues
