Ran into a thread over at the RC section and some have claimed that the smart key card works on the RCF.
Part number is Lexus Part No.: 89904-24020
According to LexusPartsNow.com, it is a fit, although my dealer is stating that the RCF does not have a smart card option.
Not sure how it can't have a smart card option, basically its a card that emits the programmed RF that your particular car requires to start/open/lock.
Wonder how thin this is though? My smart card that I had on my Porsche was thin enough to put in wallet and not think about it (well I had a money clip thing, but same point).

The wireless key transmitter ECU is the same for the RC350, RC350 F Sport, and RCF. If there is an option that works with the regular RCs, it should work for the RC F. Should. Very important.
The IS F community has learned over time the credit card keys are very specific. When the GS F was released as a 2016MY car, there were no credit card keys available even though all the other GS models did. It was almost 2 years later I discovered the GS F credit card key had finally showed up and was available. So - it might work just fine. It might not. Be prepared for failure and be happy if it works.
I stopped at the parts department at Park Place Lexus and had them look up the part number for the smart key card for the RCF and they have confirmed that it is the part number in my first post. Programming is a 1.5 hour job. Ordered yesterday through lexus parts now and as soon as it arrives, I'll report back.

They might charge you 1.5 hours flat rate, but it takes 5 minutes. I've done it myself on both the IS F and GS F. They're spending more time and effort on paperwork than they are on registering a new key.

They're charging me $55 to reprogram the key.
What process did you use to program the key? I imagine you have Techstream from the bay? Mind sharing a link?
