    I'm sure this is a common question. I still have 1 key and the dealer wants $220 for the remote and another $100 to make the key. Any advice for another way to go about this?

    If this is a new Prius, it should come with 2 remotes with keys already cut.......unless the dealer lost the extra set.

    WOW!

    A Western Electric L51A1 desk stand with a 3C dial.

    I have one in my collection. Mine doesn't look as good as the one in the photo, though.

    I'm thinking it's a cheap plastic knockoff, as it has push-buttons.

    You're right! I grabbed a random image off the web for my post, and it came from a nostalgia site.

    I knew that it was too good to be true.


    The ones that look that good are in museums.
