leaving keyfob in unlocked 2010 RX350
I notice that if we leave the keyfob in the unlocked SUV that it blinks the little red light on the keyfob. Is this running down the keyfob battery and should we not leave the keyfob in the SUV?

Also I don't think many people leave the key in the car, since it wont lock. If they do its only for a quick sec. so I wouldn't worry to much.

I just tested it. No the key fob is not blinking. As soon as I try to lock the car, a blinking message shows up "Key inside the cabin". Then a high pitch sound. When I recover the key inside the cabin and lock, the sound and message went away.

As you found out, the car will not lock with a key inside by touching the door handle. If you have a need to lock the car with a key inside, you can do it by pushing the lock button on the second remote. You will also have to unlock using the remote.

Good to know I didn't think it would lock even with the 2nd remote.

In the middle of gauges on the dash.
Same thing if you try to start the car with out the key, or get out of the car with the key in your pocket while its running. It will say "KEY NOT DETECTED" in that same place.

Don't leave the keyfob in the car. Your vehicle and the FOB will "talk" to each other all the time when they're in a close distance and you will run down the battery.

Didn't try that, but you could lock the car using the metal key.
