Transferring a FOB
Parting with our 2024 NX350 soon for 2025 350h. If I keep 1 of the fobs can that be programmed to the new NX? Thanks

I posted elsewhere ... The windshield is cracked across the drivers view. Lexus does not have a replacement ...on backorder with no ETA. I should LemonLaw them... was told that won't work. Have to move on and take my chance buying another ...and I hate to give Lexus our business.... But I like the vehicle and most importantly the safety features.
Wondering if the FOB can be programed to function from 350 to 350h .... curious if anyone has any knowledge/experience with this

Understand my trade-in loss was also going to be a lot more :(
Sorry, the whole reason I asked was because I have a redline/palomino 2022 NX350h and a 2024 redline/palomino NX450h+ became available. I was interest .because they send me a URL link to a purchase order that had a $7,500 manufacturer's discount on purchase. I said I was interested but could the allocate instead a 2025 redline/palomino with ML and still give me the $7,500 purchase discount. The told me NO and said there never was a $7,500 purchase discount. and changed the purchase order on the URL. But I had made a copy of the original purchase order with the discount and called them liars. The said they quit speaking to me because of my accusation. So, I am sticking with my cars I have for now. But my trade-in loss would have been a lot even with the $7,500 manufacturer's discount ,yes more like $20,000
Lexus inventory way up , trade-in way down.
Good Luck,

Sound a little crazy? We made a decision and we move on...Let's call it a bad night at the track.
Can't drive it. Do not have a better plan. Who do we sue? Worst vehicle ownership I ever had. The only vehicle we really like size wise is the Macan and would have to come up with close to $45-50,000 plus the NX.
Alternative.... use an aftermarket windshield with uncalibrated cameras, sensors.
Back to the subject... FOB swap... anyone ?

You should be able to, but you're gonna get some side eye looks from your dealer.

IF the FOb was already programmed to your old car it can NOT be programmed to any other car. That unique key identifier (lets call it a mac address for lack of a term) is tied to that VIN on Lexus database.
I ran into this on my 2020 ES when I bought a fob from Ebay and it turned out to be used. I had to return it with a lot of hassle.

Seriously… somebody hates me. Anything goes. At my stage of life hopefully that’s my biggest problem. Anyway a windshield has been ordered... I should buy it and store it. If I never need it I could sell it in 60 seconds the way inventory has been going.
I had a 2006 Chevy SSR.. production was discontinued... so were the parts. Some guys bought a second SSR to borrow from if parts were needed.
My wife is comfortable with the NX and willing to try again... Me.. no way. It hurts to come back to Lexus after this. No spare. One fob, no glass if needed. It's sad they get away with it. The NX has a lot of great features... Sadly Lexus cheapened the pleasure of ownership... speaking for myself.

You bet... I't'll be White/Palo..... replacing White/Red that I will miss. I love the red/black leather seats/interior. I think my favorite NX is a 350 Cloudburst/Red.
I hate that I'm really doing this swap... However it's late in life ...anything that can be replaced is a good deal.
