Default Wallet Key Question

I have an 07 IS250 and recently bought the LS Wallet key. It works great, but I have one question- Is it possible to program the wallet key to one of the driver memory settings? (button 1,2 or 3)

Normally with the regular key fob you press a button the fob and hold the driver memory button at the same time. How do you do this with the wallet key? (It has no buttons!)

No, it is not possible. The Denso made key is the world's thinnest wallet sized smart key, and in order to achieve this, buttons were eliminated, and the circuit board was embedded in a high strength plastic case that is also impervious to moisture. This therefore limits the functionality to door locks and the trunk lid release. The buttons on the handles and trunk lid work in concert with your smart key, and have no programming link with the car's features as does the regular keyfob.

The circuit board is molded by Denso right into the plastic, keeping it thin, very strong, waterproof and highly resistant to any bending or cracking. It is expensive, but you're paying for the technology that went into it, and of course, the expense having it is dependent on your particular needs. There is no other key like it at the present time.
