    Took them 5 minutes after assuring them it would work. The tech's face was priceless. hey cut the emergency key for me after I confirmed the card worked. Awesome, yet pricey convenience mod.

    100% worth it. Not very hard to do either.

    I'll wait a few months on that one. There's a couple of other things I'm saving for right now.....

    FYI, a 2016 battery will fit. It's a little bit thicker, but the battery cover still slides on, and I can find them at Walmart.

    I just got mine programmed today. It was used and I ended up going to the Lexus dealer where they did a reseed on all my keys. Well, that's what the service gal called it. It wasn't inexpensive. They quote an hour labor on it, but since the Toyota guys didn't know how to reprogram the used key card, and none of the locksmiths would return my calls, I was running out of options.

    Got mine today. 223$ shipped. My local dealer couldn’t believe that they could program it to work so they didn’t charge me.

    Bruhs. I don't know how every one got that Lexus decal out. I have tried all of the above suggested but I'm starting to think its not a decal lol.

    I think I used a small 90° pick to get under it.

    Do you still need to program it as a Lexus, or is there taco programming available?
