Just what the title says...
I want to get it for myself. Has anyone asked if it's available? How much it'll cost?

I think it's a simple switching of the key housing. I won't know until I have one in hand...

I called Woodfield Lexus in Schaumburg, IL and they quoted me $245 per key plus about $50 to program it.

I thinks that's why it's a "Smart" Card Key, for the proximity sensing remote entry and ignition system
