You are correct. There is a code you need to get from Lexus to program a new key, and there is a warning displayed for 10 days after a new key is added. The warning is to ensure you know a key was added and hopefully prevent someone adding a key without your knowledge. The previous method does not include this step and it is theoretically possible for someone to add a key without your knowledge (a valet, or service person) using the old system. Seems they've added a bit of new security to the process.

I looked it up in TIS. I have a professional subscription because I have two Lexus cars and one Toyota in the garage. I do all my own work. It makes sense for me to buy access.
I don't know if they will work with you to program a new key or not. Hawaii is different too, your service isn't through Lexus USA.
