need sugestions for using the CPO

after driving around for 4-5 days now.see few issues
1)The car is not responding to one of the keys - lock,unlock is not working with this key
also when using the key it says sometimes that the key is not detected and sometimes low battrey

2)Increasing and Decreasing sound buttons on the steering wheel does not work when playing music from iphone.Iphone connected through Auxiliary cable.

Is it better to immediately take the car to a near by lexus dealer or wait until my first service which.Should these things be covered as part of CPO

Thanks

The battery in your key needs to be replaced. It is a CR1632 type that is available at many battery sellers. Replacing it is a DIY project for most people. Replacement instructions can be found in this forum. If you are not able to do it then take it to a Toyota Dealership parts department and get them to do it and they will likely have the batteries too.

The batteries in the LS460 remote keys last about two years whether you use them or not. I suggest you get a new battery in both keys.

Thanks.Will do as advised
I was stranded today due to this problem and called Lexus 24/7 roadside assistance and they helped me to get into the car manually and start the engine

I will be going tomorrow and have the battries replaced in both of them
