Can't get it in the US even by ordering it from parts. At least not yet. I've been trying they say it's Canada-only right now.

The next step in the evolution of this Smart Card would be the capability to program it to work with all your Keyless Entry cars. Eventually all mid-level and up cars will have the option for Keyless Remote. You can then keep the Smart Card in your wallet and eliminate the need for multiple car keys. Imagine one card could open up your BMW, Lexus and Mercedes.
It would function much like programmable HomeLink does for your neighborhood gate entry and multiple garage doors.

The dealer can install it, at any rate. Mine came from the factory but that seems to be luck-of-the-draw in the first batches (like HID and HUD :/).

Is the Remote Start common on other Lexus vehicles? I was under the impression it was a rare feature.

The Lexus remote starter is usually a port install option, the dealer have to order it.

I ordered the ultra premium (In Canada) and asked about the remote starter... My dealer said that they can install it but it deactivates the Engine Immobilizer feature... For a $500 addition, not sure if I really want to trade those 2 features.

Has anybody heard this info as well?

An remote starter should have a immobilzer bypass module, that bypass module is only activated when you remote the start the car. Under normal circumstances, the immobilizer feature should be in place. Ask your dealer if they are installing a Lexus system.

Default Front Mask for 2010 RX 350?

Can anyone comment on whether a full front mask (2-piece) is available for the 2010 RX 350? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
