both fobs are in the car and i cant open the doors or the trunk??? Im i actually locked out? i put my finger on those two little nubs on the handle and nothing?? help there is a blue light flashing down by the left knee area the dealership said the alarm was deactivated when we left the lot today
You do have an actual physical key that can open the door (although it may set off the alarm if you have an aftermarket alarm installed by the dealer).
ah ha actually i registered here awhile ago, while deciding if i wanted a prius and never got one. this is my or shall i say my wifes first.
Welcome. Just curious, how did you manage to open the locked door with both fobs inside of the car? The physical key is in the fob. I assumed they are also locked inside of the car.
Interesting! So, the Prime lets you lock your fob in the car? My wife often brings along her fob for my PiP when we travel together. And almost as often, she leaves it in the car. When I try to lock it, the car complains loudly and refuses to lock. My fob is always in my right front pocket if it's not on my desk. So far, I've never left that particular pocket in the car.
I was wondering about that too. It will not let you lock the key using the outside doorknob, but someone said you can still lock the door from inside power lock. I have not confirmed that yet.
no dont think so, what happened was post # 4 dealership alarm didnt get deactivated before i left the lot. that was the blinking blue light i was seeing.
the salesman came to my house, with a way to enter the car, then placed the chip into the lot alarm, good to go
Sweet. Glad to hear the problem has been resolved. Hopefully the Smart Key System works now. (Not just the mechanical key or remote keyless entry)
Two is usual. In any case, unless you’ve agreed otherwise, you should receive as many keys as are registered to the car, which can be checked using a Toyota Techstream diagnostic system (or third-party equivalent). Even if you don’t plan to use the second key regularly, it’s good to have and keep in a safe place, since it’s easier to replace a lost key if at least one working key is still available.
Not just easier; much less expensive if you have a key to copy. For the first generation PlugIn, if you lost all the keys, you had to actually replace the security module in the car ($$$). Now they can re-program it with new keys, but they still charge an arm and a leg to do it, as opposed to just an arm OR a leg to copy a working key .
If one does need a new key fob, a local locksmith can supply and program one for about half what the dealership charges.
