Default 97 SC400 Keys

First of all my searches to find my exact answer have been futile.

I have a 97 SC400. I do NOT have an original master key, just two aftermarket valet looking keys. I want my keyless entry therefore I need to know exactly what key I need to be looking for. I've read some old threads that kind of contradicted themselves.

The question: Which master key did the 97 SC400 come with? The key with 3 buttons built in it like the 98 SC3 I used to have or the key with just one button on the side, like my 92 SC4 used to have? Or was the keyless remote seperate from the key?

Thanks

Anybody? I know keys have been covered a bunch but I cannot find anything specific for a 97. Even google shows both key versions when you search it.

I was pm'd about this the other day so let me update it. The 96/97 model year for SC's used a separate remote and therefore it was not a part of the actual key. I went to a dealer and had a new master key made which cost me around $40 if I remember correctly. I then bought a remote off eBay and programmed it myself using instructions I found here on CL.

I also just did this and now have 3 masters and 2 key fobs. It was stressful only having one broken key lol.
