Smart Card Key?
I just noticed there's an available Smart Card key for the 2013 ES.
LINK
Does anyone have it? I hate carrying the bulky key fob around with me all day. This would be perfect if it works as advertised.

Note that it is not compatible with the Hybrid version.

I don't see why the Hybrid would not use the same key. Better call to double check.

I'm really not sure if it's available for either, but it shows up in the link. There's no other way to find it that I'm aware of. The GS is the same way, and I've seen confirmation that they have it, just not the F-Sport, which is highlighted as such.

The card sells for $355.00 + $80.00 for the key online. Then it must be programmed for additional cost. A lot of money for a small convenience.

It's a lot cheaper going through Sewell with our discount.

Only the dealer can tell you for sure.

Most likely you will have trouble getting it though, we have been trying to order this in the 4GS section, with no luck. I'm still trying but it says incompatible with my car, but someone has gotten it to work. I'm taking a risk to see if it will most likely you will also be taking a risk as well since they charge even if it doesn't work.
