Default Is there a Smart Access Card for the 2008 GS 350?

I have recently called around to several dealerships and have been told that the 2008 GS 350 model year can not be matched up with a Smart Access Card. I found this interesting because every other model in that same year has the Smart Access Card as an option. This doesn't make sense to me. If anyone knows if there is a Smart Access Key for this vehicle, and if so could you please let me know the part number?

Someone here did have the smart access card as a key, looking at http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2010/2694.html they changed it, only for 2009-2013 now. Weird I would give them a call and clarify.

Like a hacker smart enough to hack into your car, except this is a card and instead of calling it hack it's called access.

My pants pocket is also very smart, it can tie all kind of knots using my headphone cord.

Anyway, I believe this is like our smart key fob, except it's about the size of a credit card. And the purpose is to put it in your wallet.

Correct if you follow the link in post #2 you will see it. It started as plactic card with a cut out with for a spare key, then as we went to key fobs it became a replacement for them. It is nicer than having the pesky fob taking up so much room...
