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.

 

Does anyone have the process to re-enable the smart card after battery change? I'm sure my battery will need to be replaced in 12-24 months since its the original from 2007 and still going strong.

 

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to work on your car, I'm glad we were able to program the card to your car. We will look into the items the you requested and get back to you soon.

Anyone interested email us @ cl@magnussenlexus.com

 

none needed. just swap out the battery and its good to go.

 

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...

 

Just bought mine from Magnussen's ... $270 shipped with key. W00t.

 

Would this work on an 06 gs 300 as well?

 

had a previous post said it works with 2006 GS350. I know that don't exists. Can anyone confirm smart key works on 2007?

 

I haven't heard from anyone in the forum about it.

 

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

 

I have exactly same card as you have and the same ic number but my came from 13 LX, and when to the dealer this morning, they said they cant do it they said my car not designed for that? Stupid advisor

 

I think it has to be same ic number and same year and if its a old key then they have to erase all key program to car and reprogram it in. Like the 08 key will not work with 06-07 IS.

 

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.

 

2013 LX has the same card key as the IS.
