Don't bother messing with the wrong card. Get the IS350 card and just buy the battery cover that has the F Logo on it. It's only $2. Product Details | SimplePart (lexus.com)

From what I have seen with other manufacturers at least is that supply chain issues can vary week to week. I also got 2 keys when I got my car end of October.

Thanks so much for the help everyone, I didn't call the dealer for help as I thought I read early on that the is500 wasn't "officially" available with the cc key so I didn't know if they would have a part number associated with it. I forgot the launch edition came with one. Also cool tip on the F logo cover!

I always have my wallet on me so the thought of always having the key with me and not having to think about it seems pretty nice. (Better not lose the wallet!) But I don't mind having get one separately as I understand not everyone will see the value. I'm just happy it's an option.

Way better spec. More practical and will age better. I’m picking up caviar on red tomorrow! Going straight to paint protection and ceramic coat.

I live in Chicago so winter tires too ugh

When I Google that number I saw a note about Korea so maybe specific to that region?

Anyone have pictures of the updated 2023 credit card key? Dealer had one on order for me but still haven’t heard it’s ready to pick up (and guessing they ordered the key we’ve all seen).

I believe the only issue with that is the L logo will not be the same orientation as the F cover.

Yeah I was noticing this as well. Looks like there are some sellers on eBay selling replacement Toyota and Lexus emblems for the fobs and cards. I'm wondering if it's a matter of just (carefully) de-sticking the emblem (tweezers, baby screwdriver, etc?), flipping 180° and re-sticking? I just ordered the "plain" card and F cover, so I'll be undergoing the experiment at some point.

I would try heating it up with a hair blower, take something really thin and small and lift it up and rotate it 180. I usually use a razor/X-acto blade's corner to lift stuff like that.

I took delivery of my car a couple of weeks ago and was expecting one key fob and was surprised to get both. To get cars to market the manufacturers starting providing one key fob temporarily because of the chip shortage. In hindsight, it is a practice they probably should have started sooner. I see some guys on the camaro forum ecstatic to get there car with one key fob as they have been waiting over a year. It was only recently GM started providing one key fob or perhaps they would still be waiting. Post some pics of that beast!!!
