That's coming up next. Mid 2021 release.
The 2008-2015 LX remote being the same probably makes it the largest user base of the 200 series? Would guess a bit less representation here on the forum though. Maybe market the kits at high end malls? Very excited to replace the oem leather covers!

Yes, I expect the LX version to do well.
Marketing remains my biggest struggle. Design and manufacturing are my jam. Marketing? Not so much, haha. I'm sure these would do double or triple the business with a good marketing person. Physical locations are tough, but I'm partnered with a few shops in the US that carry some inventory. It's tough because while the market is large for these, they're all very specific.
I think you’re doing it right. No middle man and straight to the consumer. It would be cool to have these in other LC vendors where people are already shopping but the money spent and the margins might not be worth it. Like you said, usually very specific and LC folks very often seek out what they want. You’re kicking ass, I bought two for my 100 before I sold it and will buy a 2nd for my 200 once I cough up the cash for a proper spare key. You got people begging for the 570 ones too, super cool!
Yep, bought two for my 100 which I still have and will buy two for my ‘21 200 once they’re released. Can’t beat the craftsmanship and quality or ruggedness.
I’m in line for two of these for my ‘19 200 as well. They look fantastic.
Me too! I have been eagerly waiting since I got my 2018 LC200 two years ago.

Pending how flexible you are on the term "soon", yes! I still expect that mid-2021, just don't have much in the way of updates right now. I planned on releasing the 4-button version of the YMD3, but might just skip straight to the LX remote next since there's a small army of you knocking down my door to release that!08-15 LX ready soon?
In slightly older news, here are pics of the YMD3 for the 2016-2017 (and some 2018) remotes in green. Don't think I've shared this yet.
I've got a good selection of colors now on the YMD3, just working on getting proper photos taken and uploaded.

Another not so subtle nudge for the 08-15 LX fobs.
Wonder if you could get Cruiser Outfitters to stock them. Lots of people with LX's and GX's running around here.

Yeah, great idea. Same with the YMD1 for the 100 series and GX470.

Yes please skip to 08-15 LX. Folks with 3 year old remotes can wait

Yea the 4 button hits a wider market, and that a way I can have one for both the cars.

Slowly getting through these pictures. This one turned out alright.
And yes, yes, the LX version is still coming.

Quick question: for the YMD3 remote, do I need to peel off and reuse the square black piece of foam that is glued to the factory remote on the back side of the circuit board? It's glued to the factory shell with the Toyota logo, not the part of the shell with the buttons on it. Thanks.
