Default Single button remote key

I'm curious about what this single button can do. I'm about to order one from Sewell and want to know if it opens the trunk and rolls down the windows. Maybe it performs different functions based on how long you hold the button? Mine is a 95 sc400. Thanks.

Locks and unlocks only. No other buttons for the 95. Which isn't a problem to me. It would be a luxury but luxury isn't a necessity.

It's a self destruct button, don't push it.

Seriously, I've never used mine because the key broke a bit and the button fell out lol.

I've been opening my door the old fashioned way for 3 years. I'm too cheap and lazy to fix the problem. I don't even know how to get a blank key with just the one button that they made back in 1995. I'm pretty sure there's a thread on how to take the guts from one and put them in another.

Sewell Lexus Parts sells them online for $59, cut. All you have to do is program the button function. Otherwise, it can still be used as an old fashion key. The programming procedure seems easy enough.

The master key is $59 but the one with the button is closer to $150 after rebate. Local dealer quoted me $200 for the button key.

Whoops, my mistake. Still significantly less money for a single key with a button.
