Default Digital key question

My digital key stopped working last week. Now when I open the Lexus app the Lock and Unlock buttons turn blue then black then blue then black. I checked and the bluetooth connect to CAR Digital_Key connects then disconnects every few seconds. Any ideas or suggestions are welcomed.

Default Digital Key Story

So we take my relatively new RX 350 p+ from Dallas to New Orleans and then on to Panama City Beach.

I always keep my FOB in my left front pocket,

Nice drive and I set her up #2. Investment codo beautiful place I think 6th story on the beach, meet up with the owner couple.

Couple days of parting and sunning.

So we take my car to lunch, Afterwards I'm sorta showing off. Hit remote start to cool the car off, its hot. Florida. Car is a few hundred yards away.,

We all walk the boardwalk and meander to the car after about 20 minutes.

Get to the car and it woudln:t unlock automatically for me, I haven't used digital key very often. really don't know what I'm doing.

So I tap a bunch of buttons. Open and tap some more to start. Drive about 10miles and thinking WTF. Its a slow drive on the coast and I'm catching some well deserved ****,

Thinking WTF This car has been bulletfruff for me.

Get back to condo unload pockets thinking I'm going to lay around and maybe more and guess what?

No key fob!

F&&K

Fell out of my pocket in new shorts at the restraunt

and when I called they were closed until the dinner hour.

So the digital key worked pretty good for me.

iPhone 14pro

She slept I drove back and forth.

I've been on this site for quite a while, About a month after I bought this car.

Everything I've posted is true, Not a story,

But maybe your calling me a moron. I plead guilty.

Default Digital Key no good

Lexus App sucks, can not rely on digital key. All about revenue after the initial 3 year period.
Lexus should be ashamed.

If you drive into one of these areas and you only have the digital key, the vehicle will stop working and you will not be able to restart it. I mentioned that to the dealer and asked about a wallet key and was told the 2023 RX350 was not built to utilize a wallet key and there is no part number for such an item.

After 6 months, I still can't get the app to add the digital key. I tried so many times.

Check out my post #301. For me, and others, a reset at Lexus server is necessary. Good luck!!
