Credit Card Key
Does the 2009 ISx50 come standard with a credit card size key? I had heard Lexus was going to do that for 2009. If so, are they available as a part to buy for my 2008? I know Sewell was selling one that actually was for an LS (or another model) and would work, but I wondered if there is an "official" version out for the IS now.

I believe that, right now, the credit card SmartKeys only work with the LS and LX. I know one of the guys bought himself a GS and bought the key, but had to return it because it couldn't be programmed.

Normally costs $50-75 at most dealerships for a standard programming. Keep in mind I've heard that once the credit card key has been programmed it CANNOT be reprogrammed to another car. So don't buy a used credit card key.
I actually got my key programmed for free though. The dealership did it for free without even asking for it. I believe they were trying to win my business from another local dealership for service etc... I'd call it a fluke though. It was just luck.

Also because of the nature of the card key, you have to walk up to the car to know which car it is for. The smart key, because of its range(and beep), would be much easier to locate the vehicle in a parking lot or such. Say if you lost your keys at the mall, and someone wanted to take it(or just take whatever was in it).
But this way, I only have to worry about one thing. My wallet. Not my wallet AND keys...

I also bought a Card Key from Sewell and absolutely love it.
I was hoping though, with the 09's having a Card Key that they would finally make a metal key that can fit on the Card Key for the IS in case of emergencies.
I also have an extra battery hidden in the car just in case the card key's battery runs low or dies out.
