which model/years did they start to offer keyless entry standard or as an option?

 

Mine has keyless entry and it is a 93'... I am almost positive 92' had them as well.

 

They all have keyless entry, just different types. For example, the keyless entry that I have on my 93 is simply a small button that is on the very key used to start the car. But they eventually upgraded to a remote (not sure which year tho). I wanted to get a remote for my SC, but I'm not sure if that will work.

 

i have a 92 and i have the keyless, i think in 94 or 95 they put that remote beep noise in when you lock and unlock....hey can you get that installed as an aftermarket on the 92's?

 

anyone know when they started offering the seperate remote?

 

I think '96 is when they began to offer the remote unit separate from the key. My '95 is in the key & gives an audible beep when activated. I understand that the '96 and up keyless system will also open the trunk, something I wish my '95 would do.

 

and I have a seprate remote it locks, unlocks,Trunk ,and Panic its an alarm too

Flashes Horn and lights and alarm


But I upgraded to an autopage with LCD screen and page function,Remote start ,windows and temp guage

 

and it also has the separate remote. I know for a FACT that for the '98 models, Lexus went back to the keyless entry system thats INTEGRATED into the key, and it still has trunk release. I asked a tech at a lexus dealership if I could get a 98 key for my 97, but he said it was impossible. Anyone have a second opinon?
