Lexus NX300h Key Replacement Services
Lexus NX300h key replacement in Austin is commonly required after losing the only smart key or when the vehicle no longer recognizes it. The NX300h uses proximity smart key technology, so a basic metal key will not start the vehicle. Proper electronic authorization is required.
We provide mobile NX300h key replacement at homes, offices, parking garages, and roadside locations. If you are locked out, review what to do if locked out of your Lexus to avoid damage. You can also find a Lexus dealer in Austin for OEM comparison.
Every replacement key is cut when needed, programmed, and tested for locking, unlocking, and engine start before service is completed.
Lexus NX300h Key Duplication and Programming
Duplicating your Lexus NX300h smart key while you still have one working is the best way to avoid emergencies. A spare smart key is far less expensive than an all-keys-lost situation. Duplication includes electronic pairing and system verification.
The NX300h uses encrypted smart key communication with the immobilizer system. Without correct programming, the vehicle will not start. For a clear explanation, see what a transponder key is.

Transponder and Smart Key Services
The Lexus NX300h uses advanced immobilizer systems with smart key and transponder technology. The vehicle will only start when it detects the correct encrypted signal. This improves security but prevents DIY key solutions.
We handle smart key programming, transponder reprogramming, and system resets for NX300h models. Lost or stolen keys can be removed from the system to restore security. For system basics, see this transponder key guide.

Proximity Keyless Entry System Assistance
Lexus NX300h vehicles rely on push-to-start proximity systems. Common issues include weak detection, short range, or failure to unlock doors. Battery failure is common, but antenna or programming issues may also occur.
We test proximity sensors, confirm smart key communication, and reprogram or replace keys when needed. Proper testing ensures reliable access and starting. For a general overview, see this keyless entry overview.
