Keyless Entry

Your Lexus key fob is equipped with components that communicate with sensors in your vehicle to let you lock and unlock your doors and trunk, as well as unlock the trunk and then start the ignition by pressing a button. This amazing convenience makes driving a Lexus more fun than a traditional vehicle. However, the key fob will eventually need an upgrade in battery to function properly.

Immobilizer System

When you insert your key into the ignition, it transmits an ID code to a receiver within the car. The computer will allow the engine to start in the event that the ID code matches an earlier one stored in the car. If the ID code doesn't match, it triggers an immobilizer that stops the engine from starting.

The technology isn't completely foolproof, but it does work even when you lose your keys. It is possible to "hack" an anti-theft system using radio waves. The thief could use an aerial antenna, and then spoof the signal to tell that the car has the key in the ignition.

To circumvent this experts are working on safer systems. Certain systems provide WiFi connectivity, undetectable installations and pin code entry through dashboard buttons. Thatcham Research has developed a system of grading and approbation for buyers to evaluate the various products.

If you are worried about the anti-theft system in your vehicle, replacing the battery is the easiest option. You can locate the right replacement lexus key by looking up the owner's manual. Fuses are also a concern, so you should check them regularly. If one of them blows, a replacement can be easily located at an auto parts store.
