3 weeks is about right. I'm still a little "overprotective" of this car and won't take it out of the garage in wet weather. Plus we have a couple of very spoiled mutts that love to go "cruisin" with us. I have an older Camry that they ride in. The service rep at the dealer in San Antonio told me that the cause was that there were "so many sensors on this car".

Thanks for the info on the switch. Battery was tested last week after it had gone dead (2nd time this has happened in just over a year) and it was OK. Dealer thinks the smart key system might be draining the juice so I've disabled that while the car sits in the garage. My thought on the mirrors was that they were using the battery to stay in the folded position. When the battery died, they opened up.

I have an 06 LS 430 and have been having battery problems when I don't drive the car for an extended period of time. How do you disable the automatic feature on the folding mirrors?

I recently purchased a used 2006 LS 430 with Ultra Luxury options. The car is perfect except that it came with only one Smart Key. I did a little research and it looks like a replacement from a dealer costs around $400. E-bay has some used Smart Keys for about $75, but they need to be programmed by a Lexus dealer. Has anyone here had to find a Smart Key replacement? If so, what did you do, and how much did it cost? By the way, I love this car...it's a real beauty.
