The on the outside of the doorhandle towards the front, where you don't normally touch, there is an indentation that is also touch sensitive. I tap there as I leave the car and the car is locked.

The button on the door of say, an IS350, which is not hard to find as it's always at the rear of the door handle and feels like rubber as opposed to plastic, is only for locking the door.

That is how Lexus keys work. The other manufacturers that force you to press the button for entry are doing it wrong.

Really, you're gonna talk shit when you don't even know how your Lexus key works!


My girl n I went out for sushi tonight and on her '08 IS250 you don't even have to touch the door handle for it to unlock. As soon as you get with several inches from the door, the courtesy lights all come on and the door unlocks. She had a slight fail though as soon as we got in b/c she put her purse behind her in the back seat, kind of underneath the drivers seat and it must have been blocked by the seat or by all of her junk in her purse b/c it didn't start at first, the LED light was orange instead of green. Once she got her purse and put it on the passenger floor she started it right up.
