So, it appears that it's averaging right around six to seven months to receive the second transponder. Guess I've got another 6 1/2 months to go! Yikes

Did Lexus ship the key to your home address?

‘They do not send you the key fob. You need to take your vehicle to the dealer to have it programmed. It takes about an hour.

Check your Lexus App. Under 'Health & Alerts' I've got Service Campaign message regarding 'Second Key Delivery Program'.
I called my Service Department and they ordered the second key. I have to take my vehicle to dealership to program it.

Received an email below, for other's reference.

Congratulations on the purchase of your 2024 Lexus RX Hybrid. You made an excellent choice and will undoubtedly enjoy your vehicle for many years to come. When you took delivery of your new Lexus, you were provided with one Smart Key and a second mechanical key, instead of two Smart Keys. This was due to the global semi-conductor shortage impacting certain microchips. Unfortunately, these shortages are still impacting the delivery of a second Smart Key. Currently, we expect to be able to provide you with your second key in December 2023. We will notify you by first class mail when your second Smart Key is available, with information on how to obtain your key from your dealer. At Lexus, we have a strong focus on our guest experience, and we acknowledge the inconvenience this situation may have caused you. We appreciate your patience and understanding as the global semi-conductor shortage continues and we work to provide you with your second Smart Key. Thank you again for purchasing a new Lexus. If you have any questions, please contact the Lexus Brand Engagement Center at 1‑800‑255‑3987, Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, and Saturday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern Time. Sincerely,Lexus Guest Experience

I received this very same email yesterday from Lexus, also. My RX450h+ purchase date was 9/29/23 so, I was a bit surprised to see this notification so early.
Others have waited 6 to 7 1/2 months for the second transponder. Hopefully, it will be here in December, as stated. Fingers crossed.

I just received a notice to contact my Dealer. I did NOT get the FOB in the mail. When I called my Dealer, I got a next-day appointment and they had the FOB. In and Out in an hour (including the free car wash).

You mean last week or last year? I don’t think the 5RX was ready for sale last October.
