20 Things Only The Most Devoted Lexus Replacement Key Fans Understand
When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
The Smart Key is an ultra-convenient feature that lets you lock and unlock your 2021 Lexus IS, open the trunk, and then start it without ever removing it from your pocket. The key fob battery will eventually die.
You can replace the battery using a CR2032 Lithium battery (available in a majority of electronics or hardware stores). Here's how to do it!
Keyless Entry
Your Lexus key fob has hardware that connects with the sensors in your vehicle. It lets you lock and unlock your doors and trunk, as well as open it and also start the ignition push-button. This remarkable convenience makes driving in a Lexus more fun than the typical vehicle. However, the key fob will eventually need a battery replacement in order to work properly.
You can prolong the life of your key fob by keeping it away from appliances that are magnetic, such as TVs mobile phones, TVs chargers induction cooktops, table lamps. This is because the closer your key fob is these devices, the greater power it draws from.
Another way to ensure that your key fob will last a long time is to use it only for the functions that you need. You can also reduce the use of your battery by decreasing the amount of time you press your buttons. Hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time. The electronic indicator for the key will flash four times, indicating that your key fob has entered battery-saving mode. Press any button on the key fob until the lights stop flashing to get it back in working condition.

Immobilizer System
When you plug the key into the ignition, it sends an identification code to the receiver in the car. The computer will allow the engine to start in the event that the ID code matches a previous one stored in the car. However, if the ID number does not match, it triggers an immobilizer which prevents the engine from running.
This technology is effective even if your keys get stolen however, it's not foolproof. In fact, it's possible to "hack" an anti-theft device that relies on radio waves. The thief could use an aerial antenna, and then spoof the signal to inform that the car has the key in the ignition.
To get around this experts are working on more secure systems. Some systems include WiFi connectivity un-detectable installations, as well as pin code entry using dashboard buttons. Thatcham Research has developed a system of grading and approval to allow buyers to compare products.
If you're concerned about the anti-theft system that is in your vehicle, changing the battery is the simplest option. A quick review of the owner's manual should assist you in finding the proper replacement. Fuses can also be a source of trouble so be sure to be sure to check them frequently. The Key Lab can be found at the auto parts store if one fails.
Key Blade
Your Lexus key comes with an iron blade that can be used to open the cylinders of lock in your vehicle's ignition as well as doors. Your key fob comes with hardware that connects to the Smart Access system of your vehicle, and also a button to start your car. Your key fob may be made to last a long time but daily use and exposure of elements of the weather could make your key fail sooner than anticipated. To avoid this, keep your keyfob as far away from your vehicle as far as possible. This will lessen the battery drain due to its proximity sensors.
