Smart Key question, please
All smart keys are (also) wireless remotes but not all wireless remotes are smart keys.
My FOB does not have a sunroof button. In the "TCH info" thread, another user reported that the TCH does not support the wireless/open feature. Maybe it would if I had a FOB with a sunroof button like you describe.
.
I asked the dealer today to program one fob to unlock all doors when I grasp the driver's door handle, and they also said it could not be done. So it looks like I'm going to have to do it myself. I knew I had read here that it could be done, so I was annoyed with the dealer's response. You can be sure that after I get it to work, I will be back there to let them know!
Droid 13 is correct. I was able to re-program our Smart Key and it works with both keys. My wife is delighted with this change; now she can open rear driver-side door without fishing for her key or opening driver's door and hitting the unlock switch. We both have advanced degrees but were reading the manual wrong, but we don't feel so stupid since our Toyota Guy said it couldn't be done. Thank you all and thank you GreenHybrid!

It can be done. That is how I programmed mine. But more specifically, if you grab either driver _or_ passenger door handle, all 4 doors unlock. And I think it is not fob specific, but that part I am not sure about. But I suspect if either fob is in the scan range of the car, it will unlock all 4 doors upon touch of either door handle.
It is definitely NOT FOB specific.
I have 3 FOBS (no, the car did not come with three automatically) and I reprogrammed the car using only one of the FOBS and now all the doors open simultaneously when I touch the driver's side handle regardless of which FOB is in my pocket.
For those who are "Owner's Guide" challenged here is the procedure.
