There is one more helpful trick about the key fob many people don’t know. You can link each key fob to a distinct memory seat setting so that the car can differentiate each driver by the key fob. To do so, after setting up the memory seat, mirror, and steering wheel settings to one of the numbers: with ONE key inside the car, press and hold the memory seat position number on door while simultaneously press and hold the Unlock button until you hear two confirmation beeps.
I am kicking myself. I lost one of the 2 remotes but do still have the other one. What do you recommend to get a replacement? other than going to a dealership. Thank you in advance Brock. Theresa in San Francisco
One other tip that I just found out about. I think it works on 2018 models and up. You can use your fob to remote start your car. President lock 3 times, and hold it on the 3rd press for about 5 seconds. You do need to be in close proximity but there are times when it will come in handy, e.g., do it on a hot day (leave a/c on) and let the car cool down before you enter, same on snow days, assuming heater/defoggers are in. You can clear the snow from your car while it’s warming up and avoid the avalanche falling in when you open the door. I think it will cut off after 10 minutes, and will definitely cut off when you open the door.
Can you have your car locked while it's still running I have a 2010 rx 350 when I hit the lock button to lock it I went back out to my car to check if it's lock and it opens up. I'm not sure if it has the remote start feature, I've tried it once it didn't work or either I didn't do it the right way .....
Lexus app still showing low key fob battery after key fob batteries have been replaced How do I reset the heath status for low key fob batteries in Lexus app? Thanks
if my whole fob unit broke how can I get a replacement? that will "communicate" with my car? as I have a 98 Lexus ES300. any suggestions would be great
Great informational video. You seem to be a go-to guy for questions. There are postings on the internet that you can program two cars into a key fob. I have a 2011 and 2016 RX350. Is it possible to put these two cars on one key fob? If so, where should I start? Can I do it myself? Will I need an aftermarket key fob and have someone else program it? Thanks
I replaced the battery but the key fob doesn’t unlock the car. It seems like it’s link or connection to the vehicle is lost. Does it need to be reprogrammed?
Video is great I replace my battery extremely easily. The only problem is key fob won't lock and unlock my car now it is currently starting it I replace it about an hour ago and just checked it still starting so fingers crossed it still work thanks for the video
I'm wondering if 2016 Lexus ES350 can use the same key fob trick when Press LOCK 2 times and hold for 5-10 seconds on the 3rd time will start the car automatically?
…Or, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. You could screw up both keys and be left stranded. Leave one key alone. Some people in the comment section ran into problems with the FOB after replacing the battery
The induction cooker warning was funny but then I just thought of something. Sometimes I hang my keyfob on an ID necklace which positions the fob right around the middle of my chest. I also have an induction cooktop and I can see now how the fob can may damaged if I wear my ID necklace when I cook. So yeah, that info turned out to be extremely valuable!
Do not put my key fob in a pressure cooker, is very good advice ! Thanks for showing battery replacement. You should see some of the videos on YT showing how to test, and change the battery . Jewellers screwdrivers,,, etc. What’s worse is that they don’t show how to start the vehicle when the fob has a dead battery, or someone cleaned the fob in a pressure cooker ! Thanks for clearly demonstrating the simple procedure.
If you loose your keyless remote and you don't have another one then you will need to go to the dealership and have a new motherboard installed (expensive). I wish there was another way but that's what has to be done.
You will need to remove the metal key inside the key fob. Press the button on the side of the key fob that says "press" and then pull key out. Then use the key to open driver's door. Place key fob close to start button and it should start as normal.
😳🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂priceless! What would you have me do go all over Oregon doing that? I was thinking perhaps they had a number that was registered to the owner of the car it belonged to or something similar to that. I found someone’s key fob and was trying to return it in the wrong hands someone could do that very thing and thieves don’t need any more help taking a car besides that I have no clue how much it cost to replace something like that ultimately I’m just trying to help .
I jumped in the ocean with my keys in my pocket and stayed there for about 20 minutes before realizing it. They were fine, still are two years later. Getting them wet isn't really a big deal.
+Majed944 944 You'll have to have the remote start installed. If you have it then press the lock button 3 times and on the 3rd press, hold it down until you hear a beep and the turn signals flash. It should start then.
Dear Brock, I have a question related to 2016 RX 350 that I recently purchased. I need an advice related to a setting that I am exhausted trying to find. So, whenever I am ready to park my car and I push the ignition (start/stop) button, the music/audio system completely switches off and my steering wheel goes back to default position. This is frustrating because to continue listening to music or talking via bluetooth, I then need to turn back the ignition on. Is there an intermediary step I am missing?? WHy should everything switch off without leaving me an option to simply sit in my car listening to music etc without turning the gas on. Please help!! Thanks much in advance!
Excellent question! It will recognize the key fob for a while even after the battery doesn't properly work. You will just need to have the battery replaced soon.
I don't know if I'll be able to do this, but IF I can I will be THRILLED ... cause my daughter had to go to the DEALER and pay to have this done!! Anyway, didn't know about the "actual" key that's in the key fob! TY TY! (Loved the comments about not cooking my key fob LOL)
Quit cutting your car. Cut this on cut this off. Not 1 knife or scissors in this video. Cut on a Honda of Ford. Quit cutting on your lexus. Try turning those things off and you won ruin your car. Lmao. Your welcome

That would work until you want to sell one of the cars.
How do you get the car to periodically flash when the alarm is activated ?
I replaced the battery but the key fob doesn’t unlock the car. It seems like it’s link or connection to the vehicle is lost. Does it need to be reprogrammed?

Great video! For under $7 and 5 minutes I replaced the batteries in two fobs. Thank you.
Great job! Glad I could help!!!
And Lexus charged me $30😭

What to do if keyless remote is lost? How set a new keyless remote?
If you loose your keyless remote and you don't have another one then you will need to go to the dealership and have a new motherboard installed (expensive). I wish there was another way but that's what has to be done.
…Wow !!!!!

You will need to remove the metal key inside the key fob. Press the button on the side of the key fob that says "press" and then pull key out. Then use the key to open driver's door. Place key fob close to start button and it should start as normal.
…on my 2022 Lexus RX 350-L , the key hole is under the handle
How do I find out who a key fob belongs to
…Go in the parking lot and walk up to each car and see what door opens
😳🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂priceless! What would you have me do go all over Oregon doing that?

Laughed about not placing a fob in an ultra-sonic washer! How about a subsonic washer? Or, a dish washer? Didn't say specifically. LOL
…You can wash it in a dish washer, just turn off the water main first
Thanks for your videos from Russia!
WOW! Thank YOU for stopping by! I really appreciate the feedback and I am so glad that you enjoy my videos. Have a great day, my friend!
Brock

Excellent video.

Can I place my induction cooker in my ultrasonic washer?
..No, use a standard dish washer. The EPA will be after you in the first case if they find out
Comon sense says keep your keys away from you're microwave in you're kitchen duh 😂
What if it doesn't recognize the key?
Excellent question! It will recognize the key fob for a while even after the battery doesn't properly work. You will just need to have the battery replaced soon.
Because I need to use the ACTUAL KEY
At #2) He forgot to initiate the self-destruct sequence.
I was about to cook my key fob, so glad Lexus provided guidance on not doing that.
… They do taste good, well done though
I don't know if I'll be able to do this, but IF I can I will be THRILLED ... cause my daughter had to go to the DEALER and pay to have this done!! Anyway, didn't know about the "actual" key that's in the key fob! TY TY! (Loved the comments about not cooking my key fob LOL)
Do not touch the battery with your dirty fingers. It will make the battery go flatter
