HI GUYS, I managed to lose one of my smart keys.Has anyone in my area (New Jersey)lost one recently and if so can you let me know where you found the best replacement price?Thanks
Following is the telephone number and link to a locksmith on Long Island who can program a new or used Gen 3 Prius smartkey for less than half the price charged by the dealer. He may know an auto locksmith with the proper equipment and experience in your area. BTW, I have had 4 of 4 used smart keys sucessfully reprogrammed in California for our two Gen 3 Prii.

Check out this Ebay link for a brand new smart key and uncut blank. Almost 1/2 the dealer price. You'll have to find an auto locksmith who can program it and cut the key. I did in my area and saved a bundle!! PRIUS KEYLESS REMOTE SMART NEW BLADE UNCUT KEY control | eBay
For what it's worth, I used this locksmith: Asbury-MS Locksmithing, located near North Brunswick, with a dealer blank key. He charged $35 or so to program the blank and to cut the "laser-cut" key, both of which he did on the spot with no trouble whatsoever, and for a heck of a lot less than what the dealer was going to charge. He had a specific locksmithing computer program for the key; he did plug his computer into the car to do the work. That was in early 2011; by now, with advancements with the software and such, he may be able to do more. Good luck! kbeck
