Default quick question about 04-06 smart key

ok as most of you know i converted my 01 ls430 to look like an 04+ .. the question i was wondering is there any way i can get an uncut smart key and use it for my ls ... i know the key has a chip inside .but if i was to set the computer to reconise the key would it work ?? does any one here know if its possible??

thanks in advance ...

There is no keyhole for any mechanical keys in the ignition. Do you plan on changing the ignition as well?

Actually, it uses a different frequency, so that should give you an idea that it wont work.
