CONFIRMED. First with LS smart key in all of Hawaii .. WEEEEEEEE.
Its true. sewell Lexus sells the smart key that works ONLY with US Spec Lexus cars built in Canada. In hawaii our shipment comes from Japan - Hence why our vin numbers start with JTHB. After 2 weeks of wondering why this wasnt working I was talking to a master technician and asked him since they were made in different places and the FCC ID code on the back of the keys were different; could the keys be using different freqs? The answer??.. "Oh yea it seems that way doesnt it". After further information gathering I decided to get the Japanese spec Smart key and just try it out. If it didnt work I woulda been screwed for almost $300 but no guts no glory right? witch brings me here. It works pretty well!

Ohh... this is interesting... If we are JDM... I will take back everything bad i said about Servco, run to the top of diamond head and shout praises to Servco for all to hear
*course only tourists go up diamond head and have no idea what a 'servco' is... and its such a long way up... maybe i'll just say 'woot' right here in my room*

Nope Its all japan spec. Not korea spec, Not taiwan spec. J-spec. all Lexus models being shipped here will come from japan. Its cheaper for lexus to import it to Hawaii via Japan then via Canada.

Oh Jill helped me with my car.. but it had to goto Gordan since he was the first who helped me.
LOL if indeed we could put Toms S/C onto our cars. Maybe we should have a meet at Diamond head and shout out praising Servco.
