Ls460 Key Battery Change

Found various videos/photos online for Lexus keys, but none seem to match my key.

Any idea how to open?

is this your key?

No, mine only has the three buttons - lock, unlock, and boot. Not the alarm button.

Take out the metal key (by sliding the little button) - I can see from your photo that you've done that already. Turn the key so the buttons are underneath, and the lexus L is upside down. Use your thumb to slide the piece with the L away from you. If you're still stuck I'll post a photo.

Incidentally, if you're out and about and the Battery fails, the key can still be used to start your engine. Use the metal key to get into the car - this is intentionally a bit hard, and the lock is made of 'sticky' metal to make it hard to tamper with the lock. Then hold your key with the L pointing away from you, use it to touch the start button, and push the button.
