When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
Smart Key is a convenient feature that lets you lock and unlock your Lexus IS 2021, open the trunk, and then start it, without having to remove it from your pocket. However, there comes a time when the battery for the key fob will die.
You can replace the battery using an CR2032 Lithium battery (available in most hardware or electronics stores). Learn how to do it here!
TheKeyLab is armed with a device that communicates with sensors in your vehicle to unlock and lock doors and trunks. Simply open the trunk and then turn on the engine. This amazing convenience makes driving the Lexus more fun than an ordinary vehicle. The key fob might need to be replaced with an additional battery at some point to function effectively.
You can prolong the life of your battery key fob by keeping it away from magnetic devices like TVs mobile phones, TVs chargers induction cooktops and table lamps. The closer your keyfob is to these devices the more power they'll draw from.
You can also extend the life of your key fob by using it for the functions that you require. You can also reduce battery life by reducing how long you press the buttons. To do this, press the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button at the same time. The electronic indicator for the key will flash four times to indicate that your key fob is operating in battery-saver mode. Press any button on the key fob after the lights stop flashing to ensure it is in good working condition.

Immobilizer System
When you insert your key into the ignition, it transmits an ID code to the receiver inside the car. The computer will allow the engine to start if the ID code is similar to the one previously stored in the car. If the ID code doesn't match, an immobilizer will be triggered that prevents the car from beginning.
This technology isn't foolproof however, it can be effective even in the event that you lose your keys. It is possible to "hack", or manipulate the anti-theft radio wave system. A burglar could use an aerial antenna to pick up the signal and spoof it to tell the car that the key is present.
Experts are developing more secure systems to circumvent this. Certain systems provide WiFi connectivity un-detectable installations, as well as pin code entry using buttons on the dashboard. To help buyers choose the most reliable security features, Thatcham Research offers a assessment and approval process to help you evaluate products.
If you are concerned about the anti-theft system in your vehicle, changing the battery is the simplest thing to do. A quick review of the owner's manual should aid you in locating the correct replacement. Fuses can also be a cause which is why they must be checked regularly. If one of them blows, an alternative can be found at the auto parts store.
Key Blade
Your Lexus key has an aluminum blade that can be used to unlock the lock cylinders on the ignition of your vehicle and doors. Your key fob also contains hardware that communicates with your car's Smart Access system and push-button start. Your key fob may be designed to last for an extended time, but the constant usage and exposure to elements of the weather can cause your key to malfunction sooner than you expected. To prevent this from happening it is recommended to keep your key fob in a safe place away from your vehicle as much as you can to prevent its proximity sensors from continuously connecting and draining battery power.

Digital Key
One of the most exciting features of the Lexus key is its digital key, which allows you to lock or unlock your car and even start your engine with just a click on your smartphone. This feature allows you to lower your windows or the moonroof. You'll need to talk to an expert in order to activate this feature.
You can also use the digital key to share access with your family and friends, particularly when you're planning to leave your car at home when you travel. To do this, hold and press the lock symbol on your key fob while tapping the lock icon on your phone. Your Lexus will display the message "Unlock".
Pressing the lock and unlock buttons on your key fob at the same time will activate the battery saving mode if you're leaving your vehicle. Then you can press the lock button a second time to restart your vehicle. You can also extend the life of the battery in your key fob by avoiding placing it within three feet of electrical appliances which generate magnetic fields. This includes TVs and laptops as well as cellphones, battery chargers and even mobile phones.
