yeah exactly. I use the button everytime as well. I honestly wish I didn't have a fob at all. Digging around in my pockets is more work than pushing a button on the handle as I close the door. I am going to look into this credit card key next week when I go in for an oil change at dealership. Looks cool and should free up valuable pocket space.

I asked one of the Lexus techs if the card key can only be paired with a car once....he had no idea what i was talking about.
Where can i get that info?
Why cant the card key be reprogramed to another car after it was paired to a different car?

yes they can be programmed to work with the isf. as for the key it is about 2.5 credit cards thick and dont worry about breaking it by sitting on it.
cost of key from sewell was around 230 with the extra battery, and it cost .5 hours of labor to have it programmed. so all in all i paid a little less than 300 for it altogether. couldnt be happier as the key will not slide out of the pocket like the iphone does so no more worrying about it getting stuck between the transmission hump and the seat.
as for part number its 89904-50641.

Purchased the card from Lexus of Rockford ILLINOIS because they matched Sewell's online price ($191), and Mcgrath Lexus of Westmont did the programming (because they were the cheapest...$30)
Lexus of Rockford told me that the part number I listed earlyer in this thread was not listed for the IS-F, and that the key once ordered was not returnable.
I took the chance after talking to one of the of members on this forum. (Thanks Archie)
Programming only took 30mins.

I have had mine for about a year now, only problem I have is a shorter battery life (6-8 months). But hey considering the size of the battery I cant complain. I just keep a spare in the glove box ($2 per battery) for an emergancy.
