When Your Lexus Smart Key Fails
Smart Key is a convenient feature that lets you lock and unlock your Lexus IS 2021, open the trunk, and then start it, without having to remove it from your pocket. However there will come a point when the battery for the key fob will die.

This fantastic convenience makes driving with a Lexus more fun than an ordinary vehicle. The key fob is going to eventually require an upgrade in battery to function properly.

Immobilizer System
When you insert the key into ignition, it sends an ID code to a receiver in the car. If the ID code matches with one in its memory, the car's computer will let the engine begin. If the ID code isn't compatible, it triggers an immobilizer that stops the engine from running.
This technology is not foolproof however, it can be effective even in the event you lose your keys. It is possible to "hack", or manipulate an anti-theft radiowave system. A criminal could use an aerial antenna to pick up the signal and then spoof it to inform the car that the key is present.
Experts are working on more secure systems to thwart this. Some systems offer WiFi connectivity with undetectable installations as well as pin code entry through dashboard buttons. To help buyers select the most reliable security features, Thatcham Research offers a assessment and approval process to help you assess the security features of different products.
