I was wondering if anyone has reprogrammed a lexus slim credit card key shown below to work with their BRZ limited. This is a common modification on Priuschat and by my research atleast the 2014 BRZ Limited has the same FCC ID as the Prius so theoretically that means this key fob swap could work on a BRZ Limited as well.

BRZ/FRS FCC IDs:

2014 MY:
For vehicles sold in the U.S.A.
FCC ID: HYQ23AAE
FCC ID: HYQ14ACX
FCC ID: Y8PSSPLF03
The bolded/underlined FCC ID has been tested to work with the lexus smart keys so I assume if that FCC ID works for the prius to convert to a smart key then it should work for a BRZ Limited as well.
I did find this in searching, stating that the key fob would need to be "re-seeded" which is a process described in the prius chat thread. I think if you buy the new smart key brand new you don't need to "re-seed" it, that process only applies to used key fobs/smart keys.

Has anyone done this key fob swap? I think it would be much more convenient to have the key fob be a credit card in your wallet instead of the much bulkier oem keyfob.
