Wife locked both keys in my IS350
Got a 2011 IS350.
Both key fobs were low on battery so I was keeping both in the car in the center console. The batteries were so low I had to touch the keyfobs to ignition switch every time I started the car.
Wife took my car to grocery store- came back and manually locked the car. DOH- My fault as I didn't tell her the situation.
Since the signal from the keyfobs is nonexistent- the car locked...with both fobs inside.
Called Lexus Roadside and they sent someone out to pop the door open.
When the guy got there- he wasn't too good and seemed to be doing more damage to my car than help. I told him he could go.
So- back to square one. Both keyfobs stuck in car...car is locked.
What are my options other than getting another person to break in the car?
Thanks in advance.

The only way that I think this could be solved without using a slim jim would be: Having a Lexus dealer cut a key to your vin number, that way you can open the door manually. But it may cost you a pretty penny.
You could also just keep putting your hand through the driver side and passenger side door handles and who knows, you might just get lucky and catch a signal from the remote.
Good luck with getting the car open. Let us know how everything turns out and how you had it done so that way if any of us run into the same problem we could use this as a resource.
