When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
The Smart Key is an ultra-convenient feature that lets you lock and unlock your 2021 Lexus IS, open the trunk, and then start it without ever taking it from your pocket. However there will come a point when the battery on the key fob expires.
Luckily, you can change the battery yourself by using a flathead screwdriver and a lithium battery CR2032 (available at a majority of electronics stores and hardware stores). Find out how to do it here!

Immobilizer System
When you put the key in the ignition, it sends an ID code to a receiver in the car. The computer will allow the engine to start if the ID code is similar to the previous one that is stored in the car. However, if the ID number does not match, it triggers an immobilizer which prevents the engine from starting.
This technology works even if your keys get stolen, but it's not foolproof. It is possible to "hack" or alter the radio wave anti-theft system. A burglar could use an aerial antenna to detect the signal and then spoof it to tell the vehicle that the key is in.
To avoid this experts are working on safer systems. Some of them offer WiFi connectivity, undetectable installation and pin code entry via buttons on the dashboard. Thatcham Research has developed a system of grading, approval and approval to assist buyers in comparing products.
If you're worried about the security of your vehicle's anti-theft system the best thing you can do is to replace the battery, if old. A quick review of the owner's manual will aid you in locating the correct replacement. Fuses are also a concern, so you should check them regularly. If one of them blows, a replacement can be easily obtained from the auto parts store.
Key Blade
Your Lexus key is equipped with an aluminum blade that can be used to open the lock cylinders on the ignition of your vehicle and doors. Your key fob has hardware for communication with the Smart Access system of your car, as well as a push-button for starting.
