I just noticed there's an available Smart Card key for the 2013 ES. LINK

Does anyone have it? I hate carrying the bulky key fob around with me all day. This would be perfect if it works as advertised.

 

Note that it is not compatible with the Hybrid version.

 

This link shows it does: link

 

This link shows it doesn't:

Odd.

I don't see why the Hybrid would not use the same key. Better call to double check.

 

No, that link just doesn't show it.

I'm really not sure if it's available for either, but it shows up in the link. There's no other way to find it that I'm aware of. The GS is the same way, and I've seen confirmation that they have it, just not the F-Sport, which is highlighted as such.

 

The card sells for $355.00 + $80.00 for the key online. Then it must be programmed for additional cost. A lot of money for a small convenience.

 

It's a lot cheaper going through Sewell with our discount.

 

$273 shipped from Sewell with CL discount.

 

So is it or is it not compatible with the 300h?

 

Only the dealer can tell you for sure.

10-4. I will check with them. I like the idea too.

 

Did anyone buy/get this working on the es?

 

Looking for a new toy for your new toy order?

 

Most likely you will have trouble getting it though, we have been trying to order this in the 4GS section, with no luck. I'm still trying but it says incompatible with my car, but someone has gotten it to work. I'm taking a risk to see if it will most likely you will also be taking a risk as well since they charge even if it doesn't work.
