Enjoy it and stay safe.

Yeah, I am wondering why some times it comes with one fob? My RCF came with two key fob and a credit card key. My RX450h has two key fobs, but my 2019 IS350 F-Sport came with only one key fob. I was wondering if the previous owner lost the other key fob, but now after reading your brand new (I assume) IS500 came with one key fob, wondering if it is something that is optional?

I see. Thanks. Mine is a 2019 so not sure if the chip shortage was an issue back then. Could have been the previous owner lost the other one. Oh well. Cheers!

300 vs 350

I just test drove 300s and 350s and ended up buying a 350. The power difference and sound is significantly noticeable. I would never suggest a 300, it drives like a 4 cylinder.
