Happy to report that with the swapped 4c chip in place, the key does work now! Big thanks to @Mauser for the advice and chips!

I think you best best is to look under and check for the wiring harness that goes to the running boards. Or there should be a tube spanning the running board visible just looking at the vehicle. If there is a pin stripe looking thing, that's it.

Found 4c tags (transponder chips) for sale for $3.50 each. https://www.americankeysupply.com/product/tex-4c-tag-wedge-transponder-chips-toyota-lexus-infiniti-370

Dang, this seems like the way to go for sure!

For sure on using as a hide-a-key at the very least!

Thanks! Yes, I see it now. So this might be an easier fix than I was thinking. Do you have the any 4c's available? Or, if I get a the correct valet key, it will come with the 4c key tag? I might need to do this anyway as the key doesn't work in the door as well.

I did not realize my mistake until after I took them to a local locksmith and got them cut ($55/key; tried Ace and the dealership but neither would cut unless it was their...

Hey Rami, just curious if you're still developing the relay kit?

I don't know what you mean by "best," but these are the easiest and least expensive options to add Bluetooth. Other options, as I understand them, are the non-nav retrofit or "tesla-style." I was in your shoes a year ago and went with the BT45TOY. It has suited my needs just fine and was...

I know this is a really old post but... still available?

Got everything finished. For those interested, I mounted the BT45 in the space next to the drivers side vent in the media counsel area. I clipped the Bluetooth mic on the headliner, which ran across the passengers side, down the A pillar (removed), through/down/around glove box, then back up to...

Decided to just go for it with force after that walk through. The old cig lighter is in multiple pieces. But couldn't see ever putting it back, so oh well.

Project: Install the BT45-TOY, take advantage of the AUX feature and USB charging by replacing the cig lighter with an AUX/USB port, and use the microphone. Right now I'm stuck trying to get the cig lighter removed from the panel. I do have the panel removed. Is there a trick to getting it off...
