Hi all.
I'm new to the forum and new to Lexus.
I recently purchased my first Lexus IS 220d 2010 manual with 95k miles.
I know that I shouldn't but I bought it off with one fob key which is not working correctly but starts the engine.(good deal on car)
Wireless door open doesn't work at all. to enter the car I need to use a metal key inserting in keyhole to open the central locking(all doors open/close). however I can start the engine pressing/depressing clutch and holding the fob my the START/STOP button. ---> please note that there is no fob insert slot.
I replaced a new battery already and this didn't cure my issue. What's more funny is that having battery on or removed out from fob I still can start the engine touching fob to START/STOP button.
The message "key not detected" only appears when the engine is idling and I get outside with it.
I was surfing across internet but no joy. I've seen somewhere that SMART button might be deactivated but there is no such in my car under the dashboard. I tried to reprogram the fob with lock/unlock method but nothing.
I'd be very thankful for any help and advise.
Thank You
Regards
Thomas
