Don't know if I have a tool kit or not but I really don't care. I wouldn't know how to use it!
You should care as if the key is not in the tool kit it makes it really hard to change tires.

The key should be in it's own spot next to the jack. You have to fold the tray then lift the back end to see the jack.

It's in the owner's manual.

Well, I can't change the tires, anyway. So, I would have to call someone to do it. And, I'm trying to find out if the wheel locks are interchangeable with a 2006. If so, I will get the locks off the 2006 I sold to my daughter, since she doesn't want the locks. However, I still couldn't change the tires, with or without the tools. But, your comment is well taken. Someone will have to have those tools, if they are needed and if I don't have them, then we are both out of luck. I'm sure they are in the car. Lexus wouldn't have let me drive away without them - not the dealership I do business with, anyway.

I obviously didn't make myself very clear. I don't need a key, because I don't have the wheel locks. I want to know if the locks are interchangeable between a 2006 RX350h and a 2016 RX450h. If they are, I will get the locks (along with the key) back from my daughter, to whom I sold the 2006, because she doesn't want them and I will put them on my own car. Otherwise, I will buy them from Lexus. I asked this question as a stand alone question in the forum and so far, no one has answered. Maybe someone reading this one (since someone IS reading it) will know.

Yes, the Lug nuts are interchangeable, hence so are the locking lug nuts.

Thank you so much. I kinda thought they would be, but since the tires are a little different (even though both are 18") I wasn't sure. And, I didn't want to try to change them and find out they weren't. Not sure what my dealer would have said so I tried the forum first. I really appreciate your help.

Your tires make no difference. The lug nuts and wheel locks are what hold the wheels to the hubs.

Wheel lug nut locks are a waste of money and can easily be removed without the key.

I don't use wheel locks anymore as the video posted. If someone wants your rims or tires, they can take it easily, the locks are a waste of money.

There is no master key. Just 10 different key options. But if I buy a car with wheel locks, I replace them with standard lug nuts.

Default wheel lock key

I have RX350 2017. I was looking for the wheel lock key but could not find it. I like to know whether it is located in the vehicle
