Lilliam Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 LILLIAM C CURI-JANATA March 07, 2023 at 03:25 PM On December 30, 2022, I purchased a gray 2023 Lexus UX Hybrid. At that time, there was only one Key Fob available to the new car buyer. I was informed that this decision was due to a chip shortage. I am concerned about this decision. In the event that I misplace or lose my one Key Fob, how do I address this potential problem? What is the current situation on the availability of chips so that I can be issued a 2nd Key Fob? My husband and I have been loyal Lexus customers for over 20 years and we recently went to the Lexus of Palm Beach dealership to consider trading in our existing Lexus RX350 for a 2023 updated model. However, my existing problem with the one Key Fob rule has influenced my decision to want to purchase a new Lexus. I need this situation resolved. Either issue me a second Key Fob now or purchase one for me from a third party (because that was one suggestion I received from a customer support agent to resolve this issue). Thank you for your attention to this concern, SincerelyLilliam R Curi Janata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Purchasing an extra key/fob can cost $500 from an auto locksmith. While it is convenient to have two keys, I've often had only one after buying a used vehicle. It was never that big of a problem, especially considering the cost of an additional fob. Have you tried to find out when the second fob will be available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
