Can anyone provide a link to something that confirms the SmartCard key will be offered on the 2009 IS 350 (U.S. version)? I've seen it mentioned for Japan and Canada, but I have yet to see anything that it will in fact be on the U.S. IS 350.

It is not mentioned anywhere on the Lexus website for the IS 350.

When I build a is350 on lexus.com it is in a package for my zip atleast.

I tried using zip code 10019 and didn't see any mention of the cardkey (or just plain "key," for that matter). Only the usual "SmartAccess with push-button Start/Stop." And I did search the fine print at the bottom as well.

This is something that would have been mentioned in the press releases itemizing the '09 changes, if they were doing that.

sorry for asking, but can anyone tell me what does this Smartcard key feature do?

If it’s like the one I had in my Infiniti G35 coupe it’s a wallet-size card with a flat door/ignition key. By including it in your wallet with other cards, you never have to worry about being locked out of your car, even in a keyless entry environment. My G37 doesn’t have it but I wish it did.
