Key Card Question......
I've read that some of you have the little credit card sized key cards that you're supposed to be able to put in your wallet, or whatever. Do those only come with certain models or the luxury package? We didn't get one with our 350 non-hybrid.

yes they can be purchased and added to your car but they were quite expensive. I would estimate probably around $300 for one. You may be able to get cheaper ones on eBay. I do think you need the dealer to program it to your car though. Not sure it’s really worth it as I’ve been going through on the average one battery a month which starts to add up.

That's bizarre. I only use the key card and have yet to replace the battery.

So... has anyone actually had the dealer add the key card to an NX that did not come with it? I'm not really too hung up on cost, but i'm more interested if there were bugs, challenges or pitfalls of doing so?

I received one with my 350 F Sport, in Australia.
