    I recently purchased a 2005 Gen II Prius w/ 70k. I have 1 working smart key w/ working proximity detection.

    The SKS works as a remote device but when we plug it into the 'key' slot on the dash it doesn't work? This makes it impossible to make a second working key, remote or not.

    Has anyone else experienced such a problem
    TIA

    That's weird, usually the problem is the other way around....Do you mean the car will start with the FOB in your pocket, but it will not start if you insert the FOB in the slot?

    Or do you mean that you can't use the working fob as a master to program another?

    I mean that too. It works fine as a remote, but it won't start w/ the 'key' in the slot. And therefore we are unable to program another key, because the FOB needs to be inserted in the slot to program another key.

    Weird, huh?

    This sounds like a problem with the reader in the slot.

    The SKS was an ok firearm and is good as any as a remote device. I'd put mine on the gunrack though instead of the key slot, but that would make for a great modification! That would get alot of looks.
