When you say the "new RX" theft numbers in London are still high, are you referring to previous or current generations? Any word if this new generation tech has made them harder to steal?

I believe the latest MY24 are much improved in both key tech and steel plate fitted over RX CANBUS point by front wheel. They have been fitting the plates to some older RX in London. The cars were sourced from Japan.

The Daily Mail has been running a series of articles and reporters have asked Lexus owners who have had cars stolen to contact them. Try Google.

My 2024 NX350 Luxury has the card. I’m in the US and bought it in December. I use it. Only downside is I miss being able to press a button and lock it as I’m walking away.

I just purchased my 2024 NX. It has the key card and 1 key. The other key is probably 3 months out.

I have a 2024 F Sport and mine came with a key card. They're definitely lying to you.

I bought my 2024 350h in June, it came with a 1 fob (2nd was delivered in Jan) and one key card.

A family member purchased a 2024 350h in Jan and got both FOBs and the key card.

on the 2024 NX models.

But I dont trust the dealer. Are some users here that have a new 2024 NX with this ultra wideband feature a wallet key card?
Or bought one afterwards?

I don’t want to use the regular key fob. The wallet key card is much more convenient.

Thank you

I now got it confirmed that in Europe it is not possible anymore. The new Ultra wideband security feature is not compatible.

mybe outside of Europe is a other frequency.

so I must just the key fob
