Default One key fob :-( (Merged single key fob issue threads)

I took ownership of a NX350 yesterday and I received one key fob, one physical key (without the fob) and a credit card key only. Disappointed.

I would be disappointed too.

Did they give you a reason why?

Key fob shortage. They said they will give me in future but no date. I watched LSFT's video
yesterday and didn't think it would affect me.

I just read about this this morning. I guess I slipped in just under the wire when I picked mine up this week.

On the bright side, they didn't withhold delivery due to fob shortage.
(I wonder how much my extra fob will fetch on eBay )

This is related to the shortage of chips. You should be getting another key fob in the future.

I thought it was going to be domestic Japan, but it seems to be happening across Canada and USA too.

Got 2 key fobs for my 450h+ a week ago. Sale guy said because mine came from Japan. Canadian made ones have one key fob for now he said.

Cars were being held up and guest and Dealers were complaining.
Cars with one key or no cars? OK, send the cars with one key.
There are also some models being held for lack of heated seats parts.

Ford isn’t alone in cutting out features in vehicles that consumers can purchase because of the chip shortage.
General Motors removed a fuel management module, the wireless charging pad, and HD Radios from a few of its models.

Tesla sold some of its electric vehicles without USB ports, Cadillac took its Super Cruise system off the table for
a few of its models, and some
BMWs aren’t available with a touchscreen.

I took delivery last month of a Canadian built NX and received two fobs. Perhaps I was an exception to the norm, but I was surprised to get two. It’s probably hit or miss.

A keyfob is much easier to replace than all those other items that require more work to add back in when chips are available.

Just picked up a 23 nx250 and only 1 fab. How long does it take to get the second?

What did the dealer tell you?

On another note. Does the new NX have a Valet key? I don't have one for my GX, but my old RX did.

I was told I would have it before my first service. Problem is, I have an nx250 that does not have the digital key feature or the credit card key. So I ONLY have 1 key. I PMed the OP and they still do not have their key from end of October delivery.
