ILCO key systems produce key blanks, which you would find when looking to get duplicate keys for your house, car, or other locks. They also produce the key cutting machines used to make the duplicate keys from the key blanks.
A key cutting machine is a machine that cuts keys into shapes that will fit door locks. If you have ever been curious as to how a key cutting machine works, there are some Youtube videos that show the process.
My Honda dealer told me they could use the vehicle I.D. number and order me a new key for around $10.**. Very simple, no matter what a dealer tells you. Find either a dealer or a locksmith that has the ILCO EZ-Clone or ILCO RW4 Transponder Duplicator Machine. Then give them your black transponder key, they'll use a new unprogrammed T5 key, and in less than a minute your new programmed key will be ready. Dealers will not tell you this, so they can ding you for a new ignition. However, all Honda dealers have the ILCO Machines.
There should be a metal or plastic plate attached somewhere to the machine giving the details.
Locksmiths have transponder detectors that read if a transponder is active within a key. The device we have is called "TD3AII Transponder Detector" by Ilco.

The easiest way is to take it to a place that cuts car keys, and have them put it in their key tester - a little machine that you stick the key in and push a button, and if a light comes on they know not to try cutting a key for you because it won't work.
Mazda millenia's have the same kind of key as a Lexus...the dealership is the only place that i know of... You have to find a locksmith that has a "sidewinder" cutting machine. They can cut the key much cheaper than the dealer!
