No love for 2015 LX570? Aren't there more LX's out there than LCs?
Much love for the LX style. This design is on the 4runner so numbers are strong. That Lexus design is likely up next.
Not yet.Any progress on a 2018+ LX?

Haha, yes they are! The LX design is next in line after the 16-17 LC design. Schedule is hard to predict accurately, but I'm thinking mid July for the LX if things go right.
LX design still a ways out. This year was huge for Air Down Gear Up, my other company. That meant a lot of CAD time went towards that product while the YotaMD designs slowed to a crawl. The YMD3 design for the later year 200 LC is nearly done, then LX is next! My updated guess on timing is maybe late spring 2021, but that could move forward or back, pending sales volumes for ADGU or YotaMD designs. Only so much time in a day, so I have to chase the $$.Any update on 08-16 LX design?
Just placed an order for "YMD1 - Titanium Reinforced Toyota/Lexus Key Kit" in black. Wanted the FDE color but quite a bit more than black. Looking forward to receiving it in the mail.

YMD3 (2016-2018 Land Cruiser and newer 5th gen 4Runners) is creeping up to it's first production run. I'm going to need a couple testers to try it out and provide feedback before I let it loose. Then the LX version is up next!
Fear not, the time will come. I'm more concerned about getting it right than getting it done fast. Currently on revision 10 of the YMD3 for the LC and really loving how it's transformed through the design iterations. Better and better every time.Doggonit I would've got 2x 08'-'16 LX570 key fobs

The LX will follow a similar design method. Slow and steady with lots of iterations.
Yes, I just updated the listing. Try now! I don't have many of those, so jump on it if you want them. Might be a while before I run a red batch again.Possible to buy red of YMD2 - 3 Button with PANIC - Replacement Plastics ONLY? I have two original black plastics.

Hard to say. Perhaps mid 2021. 2020 got slowed down quite a bit by Air Down Gear Up CAD work. Business was booming this year and I needed to tidy up CAD in preparation for a CNC purchase to bring much of that machine work in house. If that business continues its upward trajectory, I may have to sink more CAD time (and CNC operator time) into that, which would delay that newer LC remote design.What’s the latest eta on the 18/19/20?
There will always be a need for qualified DoT/Custody Transfer instrument technicians since, as you know, they’re federally regulated pieces of equipment and directly tied to License to Operate agreements. #blackgold 🛢Hard to say.

I also haven't been laid off from my day job (oil and gas measurement) which amazes me and continues to absorb most my weekdays. If/When I get laid off, the YotaMD remote design work will move into warp speed compared to now.
True, but I'm more on the back end supporting some futuristic approaches that sometimes work and sometimes create more headache than they're worth. My job's generally justified by the "sandbox" money for producer's R&D efforts. Less new drilling, fewer fancy meters to install to try new things, less data for me to support to try and prove our case. But.... we're not dead yet! Still kickin.... for now.There will always be a need for qualified DoT/Custody Transfer instrument technicians since, as you know, they’re federally regulated pieces of equipment and directly tied to License to Operate agreements. #blackgold 🛢
