When the LE was made available, I believe #1/500 and #500/500 were allocated to some people within Lexus which in a way, makes sense

Visiting the dealership now as both key fobs stopped working after I changed the vehicle lock settings. 😐

^^ You mean that simply going into the menu to set the configuration menu on the infotainment screen disabled both key fobs?!? That is super bizarre!

I have a thread regarding the same issue. In my case I had my old Lexus keys and new IS 500 keys while configuring stuff and then the IS fobs stopped working. The dealer can reflash it and it'll work just fine afterwards. Key note, do not configure anything while having two different Lexus fobs on you, guess it confuses the system.

^^ Good to know, not that I would anyway.

ALRIGHTY - So when you say your key fob stopped working, you mean for locking/unlocking your car. It still recognizes the car with the push button start right?!

@wthrman2 Yeah. I changed the light and lock settings with the key fob inside my pocket. When I stepped out of the vehicle, both key fobs stopped working. I can manually lock and unlock the car, but the controls do not work from a distance.

@Benibiker1558 I just read the post. Dealership said this is the first time they heard of this issue. I did reference your post, but they said they have to do a full diagnostic of the car.

Will post updates after I get the car back. They did give me a nice loaner so I can’t complain. 🤩

Yes it still recognized the car and the door sensors still worked. It was just the unlock/lock on the fob that stopped working. They did a quick 30 minute reflash using TechStream.

ALRIGHTY - If you got time to spare, swing by my place with that loaner and we can go for a coffee (lol)

Update: It was a simple fix with Techstream. They just synced the vehicle back with the key fobs. All is well now.

@wthrman2 I had to return the LFA loaner as my key fobs were fixed right away. Maybe next time. 🤣

I think it's a software/firmware bug. There's something in the vehicle settings and customizations (lights, locking). The tech had to resync the key fobs.

Unrelated to that, ever since they fixed it, I can't change the temperature from *F to *C anymore. I'm absolutely sure I could do that before. That setting should be unlocked for US cars.

^^^ I'm scared to go in there and configure stuff for fear of it happening again although I have done it with no further issues .
