No, I'm pretty sure the two are different frequency ranges as indicated by the FCC ID numbers. It would be nice having the more "aerodynamic" key.

Intead of trying to use the key for a Ls430, why don't you find a Ls460 to use the key ...

Well true, the owner of the dealership I work for is selling his wife's 2009 460 with 11k miles on it for 50 grand. Black on black with chrome 18". Nice car but I do not have 50 grand in my wallet at the moment :-(
