Smart Card Key
#46
nice. i have one of these as well. one bit of caution. if your car battery ever dies and you swap it out, you will need to have your orginal key fob with you. there is a process you need to follow to pair the key fob with the security on the car. once this is done, you can continue to use the key card. i had this happen to me and i had my key card with me and could not start the car with the new battery.

Just got the card and programming done at Magnussen Lexus in Fremont (A Club Lexus Sponsor). Gabe in Parts hooked it up good!
He actually beat Sewell Lexus price and I was charged about 30 mins of labor - I was literally in and out in 5 mins. Getting the paperwork finalized and paid took 15 mins.
Picture of the card in a pocket on my phone case. No need for a fob now. Just keep my phone on me

More Smart Card pictures, programming experience
I know people have posted numerous pictures of the smart card previously, but I just wanted to throw up a couple more.
I bought a CPO GS 350 a few weeks ago, bought the correct smart card from sewell.com and went back to the dealer to have it programmed - At first they tech came out and told me that they couldn't get it to program correctly, but I asked them to try once more with a new battery that I had left in the car (just in case) - and that was the problem.
Too bad sewell shipped it with a dead battery, but who knows how long it was on the shelf before shipping out - and good thing I thought to buy/bring a spare!
Only had it for a couple days, but I love the smart card - just wish my wallet were thinner...

This morning i brought my 13 LX 570 smart key card (which i sold the LX and keep the key) to the lexus dealer nearby, when i ask them about program the card to my 07 is, they said they cant do it, they said every year and model has their own key fobs which they can't do it, so do you guys think if it work if i buy the techsteam software on ebay and program it to my car would it work? Thanks

Well my 13 lx key card have the same id & ic as 08 LS or even the brand new card sewell sell, but the thing is maybe my lexus dealership they never done that before? Therefor; they said it can't be done on my car since some cl member have the smart key card programed on their car with new or used card and work just fine.
