Lexus cars in Singapore
Lexus is a popular premium choice in Singapore, from the ES sedan to NX and RX SUVs. We work on Lexus models including the ES, IS, NX, RX, UX and LM.
A typical Lexus call
This is the kind of Lexus call we often get: An ES owner puts the smart key down on the passenger seat while loading shopping at a condo carpark, and the car locks. We check the log card and open the driver's door without damage.
What's different about Lexus keys
Some Lexus models come with a card key that slips into a wallet. It's a useful built-in backup, but it isn't a full replacement for a lost main fob. Lexus models use smart keys for keyless entry and push-button start, and some models come with a slim card key as well. A mechanical key is usually hidden inside the fob.
Lexus key fob battery dead? How to get in and start
- Get in: Press the release and pull out the mechanical key, then unlock the driver's door. (A card key, if your model has one, is a backup for entry and doesn't replace a lost fob.)
- Start the car: Press the brake and touch the Lexus emblem side of the fob to the start button. When the car detects it, press the button to start.
Details vary by year, so check your manual. Still stuck? Call us. Key locked inside instead? See keys locked in the car.
Lexus key fob battery replacement
Most Lexus fobs take a 3V coin cell (often CR2032 or CR2025): copy the type printed on the old one and fit the new cell the same way up. Not working after the swap? See key fob not working after a battery change; if the backup start above works, the Lexus fob itself is fine.
Lexus spare key
Down to one Lexus key? We clone Lexus remote key fobs from a working key, after checking your NRIC against the log card. We don't clone smart (keyless) keys. Cloning costs S$100–S$1,000 depending on the car, so WhatsApp 9224 9224 the model, year and a key photo to confirm first.
Tips for Lexus owners
- If your model came with a card key, keep it in your wallet as a backup.
- Learn where the hidden keyhole is on the driver's door.
- Replace the smart key battery as soon as the car warns you it's low.
