Prius 2007 - are some of them without smart key option?

Just bought a used 2007 Prius Touring model, looks like it was with some basic or no package. It came from a third owner with only one fob. This fob does not open the doors or starts the car when its pocket, but one needs to put it into the slot then the car starts with Start button.

We did some reading on this forum, researched quite a few posts and since we do not have the original post decided to go to dealer, buy new fob and have them reset the system. To our surprise dealer told us that this car does not have some door button so it is not equipped with option to get a matching fob to open door or start car when fob is in the pocket. The only option they offered us was another fob that needs to be inserted to a slot or pressed a button to open doors.

Should we trust the dealer or take to another dealer? I am baffled as all our research showed that all Prius second generation have remote fob operating as RFID device while in pocket and setting it right is a matter of getting the right fob and dealer reprogramming the device.

Thanks.

 

many thanks to everyone for replies.
1. I am 90% sure it is touring edition since
a) VIN check online stated it is touring
b) Tires are in Touring size, original OEMs 195s.
Actually the previous owner did not know the type or package so I am a bit in the dark. I understand one can change tires and rims if desired to emulate Touring but then they would probably have upgraded tires from OEMs. Also how does one fake VIn record online, I think it is run by CarFax company.
2) The only key key fob is apparently not original since it does not have anywhere 3 magic numbers (FCC/etc) which allow one to match fob when buying online second pair
3) Wife is now still with the car in dealer shop and they say apparently there is no black button on the door. There is some button under the steering wheel but since I do not have car with me I cannot say what this button does (could be something else, or for telescoping wheel)
4) Previous owner said they just changed the battery.
5) I am not 100% sure what package this model is. It does not have 3.5mm jack (no music streaming from smartphone alas) so must be package must be something very basic, like package 0
Manual is generic and says Smart Key if equipped, but it is probably made for many markets and not just US and I assume used regular key in some configurations. I cannot comprehend why one would build Start button and a slot and leave owner with clunky system for starting.

So I guess when wife gets home I will check for black buttons and if they are not available assume it cannot be done. I guess to get a second pair of key fob to keep as spare when first gets lost I can get it from ebay and do chicken procedure documented in many posts on this forum, right? if it does not do SKS anyway I assume DIY procedure should work and no dealer needed?

 

On yahoo autos, this is listed as standard feature for Prius 2007 touring:

• Keyless Entry Operated Via Key Fob With Audible and Visual Confirmation
• but SKS is listed in Options
• Smart Key System (comes with some package)

Guess no dice for me to keep fob in pocket.
Now I guess I will just get second fob off ebay and program it to be a backup, but cannot use it in hands free mode. No big deal but SKS is really nice when it works.

 

It does have original rims and dealer confirmed that this is touring but they say it is an option. Indeed there is no black button on the door some here mentioned.

 

Maybe this explains the puzzle. Carfax says the first owner was fleet. I am not sure if this means NYC taxi or something line that, or it was an lessee (never done a lease so not sure the owner is the driver or company giving lease.

The fob I have is without silver logo but I do not think it is original. Guess the car does not have it.
