[Mod] Smart Card Key (Credit Card style key) for GX460 / FOB Programming
#196
I'm supposed to be picking up my 2020 GX460 Premium today. I actually have the smart key card for my GS350 now. It works, and would like to get one for the GX as well. I'll try to post photos of what the "normal" fobs look like. I'm assuming that all the information in this thread will work for 2020, but I'll double check the FCC id on the new fobs when I pick it up.
Also, mentioned further up, you CANNOT put these in your wallet and sit on them all day. Within a month of me having mine, it cracked on both sides of the L logo on the front. I had to switch to a tiny front pocket wallet to avoid making it worse.
Cracked

New to the party! Help with Techstream
Hello Everyone!
After lurking for several months on this site, I’ve finally decided to create an account and this is my first post!
I’m trying to do the smart key addition on my GX - I’ve purchased a virgin card from Bell Lexus and the connection cable. I’m having issues with finding a reliable download of Techstream. Can anyone help me out?

So my Smart Card just arrived from Bell Lexus via USPS. I was able to successfully register the key!
I spent literally all weekend figuring out how to get techstream to work with the mini VCI cable. My advice is to figure all of that stuff out while your key is in the hands of USPS. That way when it arrives, you’ve got all the kinks worked out! I literally just plugged in the mini VCI cable in, opened up Techstream and followed the directions. Thank you everyone for your guidance!

Does anyone know what is the part number for the credit card key card for 2020-21 GX460? I have it for my Land Cruiser and absolutely love it and want to do the easy mod for my wife's 21 GX as well. BTW I will be more than glad to program one for anyone around Raleigh, NC for any Lexus/Toyota vehicle but you have to have un-programmed one.
