Lexus Celsior ES300 LS400 LX450 LX470 SC300 SC400 3 button key shell replacement

You will notice in the attached photos that the blade on this key measures 41 mm from the tip to where it enters the plastic part. This is vital to check as there is also a longer version of this key and so please check your key before ordering. The reference for this key blade is either JMA TOYO-36 or Silca TOY-40.

This 3 button key shell can be used with the following Lexus models:

Please note there is also a 2 button version of this key shell with the code MLTOYO-36.P1.

This type of key is called laser cut as it is milled out up along the centre of the blade instead of being cut along the edges like a traditional key. Most quality key cutting shops will have a machine to do this for you. 

You don't need to replace your entire remote key just because the case or shell has broken away from the key blade. This top quality replacement 3 button remote key shell will allow you to swap over the remote module and transponder chip from your broken key to a new case and once the blade it cut to match you will essentially have a new key.

If you come into our East Victoria Park shop we will be happy to cut the key, swap over your case and test your battery, while you wait. It is always best to have the car present when getting the key cut so it can be properly tested. 

WE CHARGE $50 TO CUT THE KEY, TRANSFER THE TRANSPONDER AND PCB, CHECK BATTERY AND CIRCUIT BOARD TO ENSURE IT IS TRANSMITTING CORRECTLY - THIS SERVICE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AT OUR EAST VICTORIA PARK SHOP IN PERTH W.A.

If you do not live close by you can of course order this key shell and take it to your local key cutting shop and have them cut the blade to match your existing key. Then you can swap the remote module into the new shell and you are up and running.

There are lots of cheap key shells on the market and we have tested lots of other brands but this key shell made by JMA from Spain is definitely the best quality replacement we have tested. The machining of the key blade is very exact and so the key works well once it is cut correctly. A variance of even as little as 0.01mm can make a huge difference to how well a key works and so it is vital to get your key cut at a reputable key cutter who regularly calibrates their key machine.

It is very important to use a quality screw driver when doing this as the screw in this keys is very small and over tightening the screw will damage the new shell.
