Ten Lexus Replacement Key That Will Actually Change Your Life
When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
The Smart Key is an ultra-convenient feature that allows you to lock and unlock your 2021 Lexus IS, open the trunk, and begin it without ever taking it from your pocket. The battery in the key fob will eventually fail.
Luckily, you can change the battery yourself by using the flathead screwdriver along with a CR2032 lithium battery (available at a majority of electronics stores and hardware stores). Here's how to do it!
Keyless Entry
Your Lexus key fob is armed with a chip that connects to sensors in your car to allow you to lock and unlock doors, open your trunk, and turn on the push-button engine. This amazing convenience makes driving a Lexus more fun than an ordinary vehicle. The key fob is going to eventually require a battery replacement in order to function properly.
You can extend the life of your keyfob by keeping it away from magnetic appliances like TVs mobile phones, TVs chargers, induction cooktops and table lamps. This is because the closer your key fob is to these devices, the greater power it uses.
You can also prolong the life of your key fob by only using it only for the functions you require. It is also possible to save your battery by cutting down on the time you use your buttons. To do this, hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button at the same time. The electronic key indicator will flash four times, which indicates that your key fob is in battery saver mode. Press any button on the key fob until the lights stop flashing to restore it in good working order.

When you plug the key into the ignition, it sends an ID code to a receiver within the car. The computer will allow the engine to start in the event that the ID code matches the one previously stored in the car. If the ID code does not match, an immobilizer will be triggered that prevents the car from getting started.
This technology works even if your keys get stolen but it's not foolproof. It is possible to "hack", or manipulate the radio wave anti-theft system. The thief could use an aerial antenna, and then spoof the signal to tell the car the key is in the ignition.
Experts are working on more secure systems to circumvent this. Some offer WiFi connectivity with undetectable installation as well as pin code entry via dashboard buttons. Thatcham Research has developed a system of grading and approval to help buyers compare products.
If you are concerned about the anti-theft system that is in your car, replacing the battery is the easiest task to complete. You can locate the proper replacement by consulting the owner's guide. Fuses can also be a problem, so you should be sure to check them frequently. A replacement is available at the auto parts store in case one fails.
Key Blade
Your Lexus key has a blade made of metal that can be used to unlock the lock cylinders on your vehicle's ignition and doors. Your key fob comes with hardware for communication with the Smart Access system of your vehicle and a button for starting. Your key fob might be designed to last for many years, but constant use and exposure to the weather elements can cause your key to malfunction sooner than expected. To prevent this from happening it is recommended to keep your key fob in a safe place away from your vehicle as far as you can to prevent the frequency of its proximity sensors connecting and draining battery power.
