Default 2 Types of Key Fobs?

Hey all,

Just picked up a CPO 2015 GS350 F Sport and absolutely love it!
I did have a question though,
It came with 2 key fobs, one is used and looks like it may be the original, and a second one that's brand new but looks different, no texture to it.

Any reason for the difference? Is one a newer version of the remote?

The one with no texture is a latest version key.

I have a late model 2016 (build date is June 2016).

Wow...I assumed my fobs were like the ones I had in 2013...nope, they're the smooth ones. I have the "leather" pouch on them, so I had no clue.

It doesn't list the part number like you see on the bag there, but the number on the actual fob is the same. 1410-0758

OP you may want to check the mechanical (metal) key in the newer fob. Mine turned out not to be cut in the set I chose for regular use (purchased vehicle used), and when my battery went dead I couldn't unlock the car. Had to get a ride home and get my spare!
