Replacement Fob Shell
2008 RX350 237K
My fob shell shell has broken up. Second one to do so. So I’m now using the concierge key with the broken shell also on my key ring for the remote buttons.
I want to move the key metal & tiny screw and the remote module with the RF ID chip to a new shell.
Seems simple enough but when I’ve tried to replace it before in the end there were some little differences that made the new shell unusable. Can someone please point me to one that for sure will work? I’m beginning to wonder whether there are small differences that Lexus made over the course of production that make what fits for some not work for others.
