    I have recently acquired a used 2013 Prius III and I am overjoyed with its performance.Only one key fob was provided in the deal.
    Where can I purchase an additional key fob (with key) at a price less than that exorbitantl charged by a dealer?
    I have seen a few on the Bay and my dealer has stated that the cheap ones from China will not work.
    Thanks and Happy motoring.

    do it asap because dealer coud only program a new FOB if they have one in working condition if you lost or broke the one you have you are in big big spending and trouble

    I'm also looking for a definite answer to if I can buy and program a fob myself for a 2013. There seems to be conflicting information on the forum.
    I also wonder if anyone has used a locksmith over the dealer.

    Where in upstate New York are you located?

    I have programmed a “virgin” Gen3 key with Techstream ;).

    There are some members here in upstate New York that might be willing to assist(y).
