Smart access card for 2013 Lexus RX 350
I have a key fob but like to get smart access card for my 2013 RX350. It seems like the Lexus made in North America do not have this option. But if you have Japanese made Lexus 350 only then you can buy this card.
Let me know if anyone had success in finding and programming a smart card for their RX350 north america made.
RX350 for 2013 comes with double sided key.

I had a 2010 RX350 made in Cambridge Ontario and it came with the smart card (wallet). This RX is still in the family and has since had a remote starter installed (3rd party) that has incredible range. It can start the RX in a hi rise condo down about 10 floors in the parking garage. The smart card works fine.
When it came time for a 2015 RX350, I was a bit surprised that I could not order a smart card. After a lot of resistance, I was told that indeed it could be installed. The RX came in and was delivered with a delay on the little "key" that can be used to start the car in case of a dead card battery. After months of delay, it was determined that a "key" was just not available for the smart card. The real issue is that the 2010 and perhaps up to 2014 uses a 1 sided key. The 2015 uses a 2 sided key which requires grooves on both sides and thus is simply too large to fit within the smart card case.
I was offered a refund but choose to keep the unit. I carry a spare battery for the smart card in my wallet in case of battery failure. I told Lexus at the time to expect a call to come pick me up if I get stranded. This got me a pack of free batteries - lol. This RX was also made in Cambridge Ont. The final answer actually came from the big supplier in the states- perhaps Stewill or close to that.
I deal with Lexus of London Ontario. I live about 1 hour 15 minutes from Cambridge and have had tours of the plant.
If you really want to jazz up that 2013, look on Ebay for LED door lights to replace existing door lights. These LED lights project the Lexus image to the ground just like the Pony on the mustang. Lexus want $100 each installed. You get 4 for $18.70 US direct from China. About 2 - 3 week delivery, I have the 2nd set on the way for the 2010 - lol. It is 34 seconds to install each light.

key cards second hand
Sup CL gang! I wanted to know if any of you guys have the card key for your RX? Also I found that on Sewell that the RX CK is $288(CL Discount) and then a CK for my '10 LX is $191(CL Discount) Does anybody know if I can order the LX and get it programmed to my RX. Out of curiosity I wanted to know how much a CK would cost for my LX if I were to lose it and it turned out to be it is cheaper than the RX CK. So does anybody if the LX card key is compatible with the RX?
Thanks in Advance
