Default 2020 Next gen key swap

Hey guys, just out of curiosity, is there a available next gen key that i can have programmed to work with My 2018 RX350 F sport?

I like the style of the new ES, LS etc. keys, and I’ve had this same style key for the past 3 cars already, it would be nice to have something aside from the card key and the original key fob that came with the 2018 RX350.

the 2020 ES350 has the new gen key i know for sure, but not sure what other chassis’ have the same fob.

I’m hoping someone might have some knowledge on the subject, I’d greatly appreciate the info! Thanks everyone!

In most cases, but not all, you can program a key fob that has the same FCC ID that matches your key. The FCC ID is on the back of the key fob.

I’ve come to find out some card keys fccid doesn’t match but still work so I was hoping maybe someone has tested any of the new keys, hopefully we can get lucky with the off chance

Does it really matter? My fob is in my pocket or briefcase all the time. Functionality is no different with either one.

honestly no it doesn’t really matter, but why else would we be here, other than to do stuff to our cars that didn’t really matter 😂 not like any performance mods we do to our RX means anything in the scope of speed.

we try to do stuff to our cars that we enjoy even if it’s pointless and expensive 😂

Okay - I accept that as a reasonable explanation
