Complete noob "Smart Key" cloning/duplicating question

Hello Prius community,

I am the proud new owner of a 2014 Prius C Four. Purchase came with only one key and I don't know how smart it is, but smart enough that I will need a spare.

So far I've gotten a quote for an exact copy from an automotive locksmith with excellent reputation for $295. That's an owie in my book - when you're buying an efficient, economical car.

Last car was a 2000 VW Golf TDI. I had a Vag-Com dongle to make minor adjustments and check fault codes, but I certainly lack the skills to program a new keyfob.

Advice appreciated and I am happy to be a new member of the Prius Community.

 

Thanks Bisco. I need to familiarize myself with the forum's search tools.
