I would be all over this if I could program the key myself.

So does that mean that it has to be brought to the dealership to be programmed? Becuase if that's the case, I have a feeling dealerships might not believe it would work for the 2IS and give us a hard time trying to get it programmed.

Can't judge a persons wealth by where or what they live in either. Conspicuous consumption exists in houses as much as it does in cars.

How thick is it compared to a credit card? If it is thicker than 2 credit cards together, I don't think it would fit in many wallets.

It's just a hair thicker then 2 credit cards combined. I agree it might be hard to fit in some wallets. I actually removed some things from my wallet to have this fit comfortably. but then again, I use a slim wallet. So I can't fit much in the first place. The overall dimension is slightly smaller then a credit card.

Dealer. The key cannot be programmed without the Lexus Scan tool.

Sure you can judge a person by where they live or what they live in... people's largest assets are usually in property (well the ultra wealthy is usually in stocks and property). I know the expenses that arise in the home coming from a large family who spoiled their kids...but if the household expenses arise an issue for the person/family means they aren't doing well off...

Remember, spend all your money on a car, because you can sleep in a car but you can't drive your house!

But yeah, this is a pretty neat option. $270 though!

Ohhhh I found a problem with this system:

What do you do when you valet your car?

What if you drop the card? Looks fragile.

Can you use this card and the regular key at the same time (have them on you at the same time)? I assume not.
