My key is still fine. Sometimes, it seems like it doesnt work, but you have to make sure that you push the button hard and all the way down. I havent taken apart the key, but Im guessing there is a little switch under the rubber which causes this.

 

and Lexus told me that it would be $550 to repair. Darn those guys, they LOVE to replace things and not repair them.

It's happened at least twice where they wanted to replace a $500+ part. One of them I replaced nothing by tightening a loose cap screw (under the seat, they wanted to replace the whole assembly!)

For now the remote lock/unlock project is on the backburner, as a complete leather restoration will take priority.

 

I don't mean to bring this thread back from the dead, but I can't find any info on this specific upgrade. Anyone have any insight? or is the aftermarket option the best bet?
