I have a European version of the car and the key numbers are issued differently, taking into account my VIN code.
But let's say I ordered a key, will I be able to bind it with TechStream program myself?

Is Heilbron in South Africa?
If you have a European spec car then the Smartkey is 433Mhz (the US ones are 315Mhz) so you will need the EU spec Smartkey.
I have never added a key using TechStream so will let others answer that.

The part numbers you are showing are for the non-Smartkey.
I believe the part number you need is 89994-50260

That site is in the UAE so don't be fooled by the $ prices.

Heilbron is Germany. I order parts just from UAE using the website amayama.com
What is the correct name for the procedure I need after purchasing a key?

I changed the battery, the button smart is active. What can it be?

This makes me less sad that my LS430 doesn't have a Smart Key setup. I've always felt like a second-class citizen with my normal keys, but maybe it's not the worst thing that could happen.
