Don't have my camera with me to take the pic, but it looks exactly like the one on this link:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=319111&page=2


what the pic doesn't show you is that there is a little mechanical key also imbedded in the 'credit card'....just like it is in your smart fob.....and yes, you can still get it for less thru Sewell via the GB they have going on now....you can get the mechanical key cut via your VIN (u need to show proof of ownership though), but you'll have to take the 'credit card' in to be programmed at your local Lexus dealer (I haven't had the chance to do that part yet)....hope this helps out.....

I love having it, BTW. You do lose the ability to have the lights flash in a parking lot if you don't keep the conventional fob on your keychain, but I can always just walk up to the car and get in. Very, very cool.

Here is a picture showing compared size.

The Lexus card, a 25 cent coin & credit card.

The Lexus card is about as thick as 4 regular credit cards

and is not flexible.

I don't really like it so never use it anymore.

Hope the pictures help.

Cool pic, thanks ccds!

I think it depends on what kind of wallet one has...

ccds, why don't you like it any more? Is it the thickness or something else?

Its just too thick and has no flex at all
when its in your wallet you can feel it when you sit down

The other thing is, as someone else mentioned earlier, it has no
buttons so you can't open the doors or trunk unless your right up close.

Just find the original more convenient

Its just a personal thing, I am sure others find them great.

After buying the LS600hl your wallet is much thinner, so you suddenly have room for it.
