Hey Guys,

just purchased and RC 350 F-sport, not used to the big bulky key.
has anyone connected one of the credit card keys to their car? i asked my dealer today but their catalog didn't show that there was any available for my vin number.

i found a listing on Ebay that shows it should work, just wondering if it really work or not.

lexus part number = 89904-53511
here is the link to ebay http://r.ebay.com/SWsCHw

Thanks

P.S. i also found it a cheaper on this site

yeah that one will work for the RC 350. The only thing is that you have to program it from a dealer and cut the key from them.

Part of the description on eBay says the following

"Note: This Smart Card will not work for Hawaii Spec models"

Is that the maker of the key? Mine is made my denso

Thanks

I bet it has to do with either the shipping to Hawaii or the RCs in Hawaii are equiped differently. But, I have contacted that ebay seller in the past and he responds quick and I think he works with a Lexus dealer. You should be fine if you order it from that ebay one as long as you are in the states.

They dont have it for the RC F?

I read that this would work also for the RCF, I know that the ISF had their own unique version of the wallet smart key that has the F logo on it. What i want to know is if lexus has one of those F logo wallet smart keys for the RCF or if the ISF version will work for the RCF.

I checked the ebay link today: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-RC350-...-/111625490861

I think this is really innovative and useful because i also would prefer not to carry a key if I dont have to...
I cant tell by the pictures what size it is tho. Is it as thin as a credit card and will it really fit in a wallet?

aavq85

i got scared and never got it in the end ( my dealer insisted that it wouldn't work because it wasn't on their computer )
have any of you guys got one of them to work on the RC 350?

Thanks,

Is this jsut for 2015 models or will it work for a 2016? i put he year and make on the ebay link posted above and it said it wasnt

mjeds

yeah it's the size of a credit card. thickness of about 1.5 credit cards.

lexual_rc

Do you own this? Is yours paired with an RC and which year/ model if so? I wonder if I put this in my wallet and sit on it, it will be ok.

mjeds

I have one, not paired to the car yet, when I go in for my 10,000 oil change next month the dealer will program it for me, they have already told me that it will work without issue as long as I have FCC ID HYQ14CBB



found the info here:

dealership confirmed it would work and they can program.

I don't use a wallet I use a minimalist card carrier,

I wouldn't put it in a wallet and then sit on the wallet, it does flex pretty easy I would think it would bend and/or snap over time.

mjeds

it has a physical key inside:

jadoocian
