This guide provides you with clear, easy-to-follow instructions to program your key fob, ensuring you regain full access and control over your Lexus RX350’s keyless entry system.
Before you begin, make sure you have the correct replacement key fob for your 2007 Lexus RX350. The compatible part number for your vehicle is HYQ12BBT. Using the correct key fob is crucial for successful programming. If you need to purchase a new key fob, you can order the HYQ12BBT part directly from reputable online retailers specializing in key fobs and remotes.
Follow these programming steps carefully to ensure success:
-
Start with Key and Door Position: Ensure your Lexus RX350 key is out of the ignition. Open and unlock only the driver’s side door. It’s important to close all other doors, including the trunk or hatch.
-
Key Insertion Sequence (Part 1): Within 5 seconds of opening the driver’s door, insert your key into the ignition switch and immediately pull it out. Repeat this insert and pull out action a second time, for a total of two insertions and removals.
-
Door Cycling (Part 1): Next, perform a door close and open cycle twice, specifically for the driver’s side door. Close the driver’s side door, then open it. Repeat this close and open action once more.
-
Key Insertion Sequence (Part 2): Insert the key into the ignition switch one more time, and then remove it.
-
Door Cycling (Part 2): Repeat the door close and open cycle twice again, just as you did in step 3. Close the driver’s side door, then open it, and repeat.
-
Final Key Insertion: Insert the key into the ignition switch and this time, leave it in the ignition. Do not remove it in this step.
-
Close Driver’s Door: Close the driver’s side door.
-
Ignition Cycling: Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and then immediately turn it back to the “OFF” position. Do not start the engine.
-
Remove Key: Remove the key from the ignition switch completely.
-
Confirmation of Programming Mode: At this point, you should observe the door locks cycling automatically. This lock cycling is the system’s way of confirming that your Lexus RX350 has successfully entered the key fob programming mode.
-
Programming the Key Fob: Take the first key fob you wish to program. Press and hold both the “LOCK” and “UNLOCK” buttons simultaneously for approximately 1.5 seconds. After 1.5 seconds, release both buttons. Immediately after releasing, press and hold only the “LOCK” button for 2 seconds.
-
Confirmation of Key Fob Programming: The door locks will cycle once more. This cycle confirms that the remote key fob has been successfully programmed to your 2007 Lexus RX350. If you have additional key fobs to program, repeat step 12 for each additional remote.
-
Exit Programming Mode: To finalize the programming process and exit programming mode, simply open the driver’s side door.
