Default Just purchased 2004 ls430, but smart key not working

HI guys
I just bought a silver 2004 ls430 with 90k on it. It Only come with 1 smart key but none of the buttons on the key work. I had replaced the battery on the key, still nothing works. I had turn on the smart switch under the dash and the green light is flashing. No luck. I'd try to turn on the engine with the key in my pockeT It shown a message the smart key is not detected. Anyone have any inputs on these matters is greatly appreciated.

Might need to be programmed on the car.

Did it work anytime before?

Double check the system is enabled. There is a button by the gas pedal. The button for the smart key and a **** for alarm volume. Make sure the button is depressed. Programming is done thought the dealer software - Toyota Techstream.
