I always thought that if you drove off without the smart key the car would shut down at a certain distance but apparently that is not the case. I guess that it will drive fine without the smart key but you better not shut it off... thoughts?

Exactly. Don't shut her off...or you'll be like ---->

No, once she's started up, she keeps going until you turn her off, then she won't start again. I guess it's a "safety concern" to not just cut out if you go beyond a certain range. What if you're driving away say from home and you're on a major freeway, you surely don't want to cut out half way up merging into the road.

I have the opposite problem. Yesterday, I forgot to grab the fob and couldn't figure out why the ignition wouldn't turn. Then I looked at the display. Doh!

Help - I have another problem with Smart Keys - after a family gathering this weekend where I loaned out my LS430 to others, we have lost two smart keys (my only two smart keys). I am down to my valet key. Any ideas on how to replace these inexpensively?? THANKS!

Find a new family. Seriously, go get them back or be ready to cough up about $250 per key to have the dealer, buy, cut, and program.
