It's a good sign that at least someone in the world has one.

On the IS forum a member had an RX and reported that he had a smart card key but he lived in Canada. Don't know if the US market has this option. I'd love to find out though as I have a 2017 custom RX 350 on order.

​​​​​​​Does that come in standard or as a option? I'm in Canada and is getting the car this Friday. Always want the card key

Card key comes standard in Japan as well (had it on both 3RX and 4RX)…
It's pretty strange Lexus wouldn't include one in US (Canada as well?) models. WHY?……

Can't say it really is that useful, but I do use it sometimes when I don't want to bring my whole keychain with me… And again, why not just include it across all markets? Can't cut THAT much into Lexus profits on the model, right?

I wonder if you can purchase one in Japan, and have it shipped and programmed here? Any thoughts?

Did you ask if the smart card was even an option?

It's obviously an accessory that can be had from dealers outside of the United States. I just want to know if we can get our hands on one they will work in our cars in the United States?

Remote start is listed as an option here in Canada, along with the tinted window hood protector etc. I am not sure if they are talking about the 800 meters one since his description is "remote start, you take out your key fob, lock button one two three the car starts" They say they never heard about any "cards"

Hard to believe that if we can get our hands on one they couldn't be programmed. The question is how to get one.
