hi i have a big problem with my 2001 ls430 , the Battery has gone completely flat and i can,t get into the car , even with the manual pull out key on the remote , there is no flashing light on the dash with the smart key , i car only think the double dead locking is on , and the manual key only triggers a electric solenoid so it still needs some Battery to operate , the key does turn and click but does not open the door , i can not think what to do other than smash a window ,or is there a power connect i can power up from the out side with a boost pack , i can not get the bonnet open , has any body come across this problem , any ideas or advise with be very much appreciated all the best colin .

Hi are you in the AA or RAC as they have data on how to gain access to vehicles, If not call your lexus dealer in the morning & hopefully they can help, The only thing I could suggest is removing the number plate light & bulb & feeding in a low ampage 12 volt supply through there be carefull not to short out across the + & - though, in theory your key should work then.
