Wow...maybe you should start your own single thread about all your complaints about this vehicle? Did you just walk into the dealership and point and say give me that one without evaluating your options or looking at it at all?
When buying a car, I dont get to see the FOB, but I was more expecting a higher quality brand than what they sell at Lada because its a greater price range, I like to get something that worth the wasted money.
Lexus offers an optional smart card key that fits in your wallet. It's about the size of two credit cards stacked. Just keep it in your wallet and you can unlock and open doors for your car. Way better than BMW's huge, clunky smart keyfob.
I agree. OP has made so many useless threads or posts of complaints.
Just like BMW, you'll need to get flagship models to get the "nicer" keyfobs. The LS and LC have the nicest keys in the Lexus lineup. Like others have already mentioned...you can dress up your current keyfob with a leather cover.
Since most cars have keyless entry and start, "nicer" keys aren't really that necessary since it really just stays in the pocket/purse. I think Volvo and Aston Martin make the best keys and don't see anything special about the Ford Edge keyfob, but keyfob aesthetics wouldn't be a factor to consider of whether I buy a car or not.
Btw...the BMW 7-Series optional keyfob (one with screen) is so dumb and needlessly complicated. Why would someone want another item to charge up every few days? Not to mention...the size of the key is insane and be annoying to carry. It's almost the size of the man's palm?!
Nothing special about the standard BMW keyfob...
I agree that it stays in the pocket, but for myself, its kinda of my little trophee,for me its a representation of the car you just bought. But that me, If I get to show off one day, there is nothing to brag about with this kind of fob.

Did you not test drive it? Every car dealer I went for a test drive with would give me the fob or put it in the center console.
Thats way better, does it work with the NX and how much does it cost?
the wallet key runs about $250 depending on where you get it, and programming has to be done at the dealer, usually $50 - $100 depending on how much of an *** your dealer is.
FYI though, do not just buy any wallet keys, each Lexus uses a different FCC frequency, so a key meant for an IS will not work on an NX.. you need the key for your year and model, the easiest way is to go to the dealer parts department and have them give you the correct part number for your VIN. Then search on ebay for the part number.
my dealer wanted $430 for the RC-F key with the specific "F" logo, I found it online for $230.. dealer programmed for $50..
