Keyless Entry Remotes & Fobs for Lexus ES350

Keyless Entry Remotes Fobs for Lexus ES350

Keyless entry remotes allow you remote access to your Lexus car. There are several types of remotes available that have different features and designs. Here are some questions that may come up when making a selection.

A key fob is a wireless remote that is paired with your automobile. The remote allows you to unlock your car without inserting the key into your vehicle. Some key fobs will also allow you to open the trunk and start the sedan. Fobs can either be integrated into your key or will be a separate unit on the keychain.

• Choose a style: Some keyless entry remotes will have additional features added such as remote-start. You can choose from integrated fobs or a separate unit.
• Choose a brand: If you prefer to use OEM brands, you can choose from those manufactured by Toyota. There are also several aftermarket and unbranded options available as well.
• Select a type: You can choose from universal or wireless types of remotes. This will vary depending on the brand.

• Transmitter: This part contains a chip that holds a 40-bit code that is sent to the car when you press one of the buttons on the remote.
• Receiver: This component is located in your Lexus and executes the function that you pressed on the remote. The receiver will be paired to one or more remotes and will ignore other units.
• Panic button: This component activates the vehicleu001as alarm. The alarm will make a loud repeated sound, and in some models, the lights will also flash on and off.
• Ignition key: This component is featured on key fobs that are integrated into the key itself. The ignition key allows you to unlock and start the car as another method instead of the remote.
• Sensors: Some models will have sensors located in the trunk and inside of your car that detect if the keyless entry remote is in close proximity. Sensors in the trunk will unlock the trunk if it is left inside.

A hands-free remote is sometimes referred to as a smart key. These fobs use a series of sensors and chips tied into the computer of your sedan. When you walk up to your vehicle with a hands-free fob, the doors will unlock automatically. On vehicles equipped with an engine start button, the hands-free unit allows you to start the car without inserting the key in the ignition. Similar to a regular auto-key, the hands-free key fob will be paired to your specific vehicle.
