Cool but this is still 1980s technology. We should be able to get into our cars with a simple handshake of our mobile devices being in our pockets. I think Tesla is doing this and maybe BMW with the new 5--though maybe, maybe not. I forget. I hope car makers step it up. Actually why even need a key. If Apple can implement chips inside the phone to read our faces and make secure payments, our cars should be able to scan our faces as we approach. or some other biometrics. Same for ALL our homes. I hate hate hate keys and can't understand why we still need a pocket full of large metal objects to access stuff. i was born 50 years too early!
Because security is still a big issue...Software advancements have been great for convenience and ease, but its still not there to be 100% reliant upon it.

I think a lot of us can agree that if 80s tech was the most efficient it wouldn't be replaced. Change is difficult for a lot of us especially when you're used to certain things.

Able to confirm that the smart card key does work on my Canadian 2015 IS 350. Part no. was 89904-53511. FCC ID was different between factory fob and the card key. Local dealer wasn't sure if part would be compatible and were too expensive ($750 CAD for card, key insert, program and cut). I ordered the card and key from a Texas Toyota dealer for $240 USD. They wouldn't ship to Canada so I had it forwarded here using ReShip. Ended paying $360 CAD for fob, key, shipping and customs. Programming was super simple using TechStream with a Mini-VCI cable. All that's left is to take the blank for cutting.
This will be super convenient for me since I use ID cards at work and a keypad lock for the house. Highly recommended upgrade.

and like i said, BMW and Tesla already offer similar smart access. and if anything, BMW/Tesla superior to lexus w/ tech. so anyone can do it. it's just industries tend to be slow to adapt, particularly in japan

Are these credit Card keys compatible with the 4GS ( 2015 GS350)? It wasn't clear from the thread, since it seems to work great with the IS350...

Check the FCC ID on your key fobs (should be HYQ14CBB), and then I'd also send mylparts a note just to confirm this is the right card key for your VIN:

purchased a used smart card (HYQ14CBB) from a user on here. added a new battery, use techstream to reset my immobilizer and added all key fob and it works great.
For the record, my two fob are: HYQ14FBA but my smart card is HYQ14CBB. FCCID does not need to match. Being that the card was used and locked to another car, I had to do the reset method using a token with techstream.
used card $60
usb cable with techstream $18
battery $5
blank key blade $10 (will get it cut soon)
5 tokens $30 (ended up using two tokens to complete it. unknown software failure 14mins into the count down) https://www.weboctopus.nl/lexus-scio...calculator.php gave instant result, no need to wait for code like others.
If programming new, it's simple with techstream and needs no pass-code token.
I have three spare token willing to let go for a price. PM if needed. code never expires.[/QUOTE]

I have a 2014 IS350 and a 2014 RX350 can I program both cars keys to ONE card ?? this would be awesome and I would consider it if this would work. Thanks
Yes the card does not have buttons therefore you need to touch the door handle and trunk button to Open/Close. I do have Lexus remote start so it would not work with this card key (no buttons).
