Every disaster scenario mentioned above, along with every desirable feature and more, is included with the Toyota/Lexus Smart Entry system. Once you approach your car in a heavy rain with your arms loaded down with ? and the car unlocks itself will clinch the deal. That is, if you remembered to carry the 2"X1"X½" transponder (mechanical key inside) module somewhere with you. Power steering once seemed needless, now NASCAR and F1 cars have it. It's progress, not everyone wants to ride a horse any longer.

Yes I would love to have this in my truck! What a great feature. Additionally, I heard there are like a million (well, a bunch) codes it changes every time you use it so that's great theft protection too.

I don't think it could be retrofitted b/c that might be tied to the ecu? Would be cool if it could be put in tho... something to look into in the future. Considering a Lexus computer chip key is $ bookoo.bucks I would hate to guess the cost of this system!

plus it's more ammo to convince my dad to get a lexus.
