Hi,
I have a 2011 IS 250 C with the keyless operating system. I have had repeated problems with battery life that prevents me from opening or operating the car. I found out that this is a know problem on several models of Lexus with this system from 2004 to 2011. I was told that when the device is place near or exposed to almost any electronics device (TV, Radio, Microwave, Oven, Computers, WiFi LANs, Cell Phone, ...), the device can trigger and the battery drained. I have been left stranded at many location and the dealership is offering me extra batteries to address the electronic design flaw. Does any one know of a real fix such as a
1. Software that turns of the remote sensing aspect of the key/entry device and allows it to be used manually?
2. Battery indicator light to show the life time of the battery key/entry device?
3. After market devices that address this issue?
