    Yes! I am the proud owner of a *new used 2011 Prius, my second(also own a 2008). Got a pretty good deal >8K under 100K miles, BUT...it only came with 1 key. Having gone through that stress with my '08, I'd like to avoid the peril, so I've purchased a virgin key fob. And before I go through the adventure of "mini vci techstream" diy programming route, figured I'd check in with the community for "professional" recommendations in the Atlanta, GA area. Everyone I've called so far is charging an arm and leg. Has anyone gotten a successful copy from batteries plus, Ace hardware, or anywhere else? Thanks in advance!

    Thanks all!
    I am happy to report that the "Yueku Mini VCI J2534 TIS Techstream Cable Car OBD2 Diagnostic Cable (1.4.1)"
    from Amazon and "For Toyota Smart Key HYQ14ACX GNE Virgin Prox Keyless Entry Remote Fob w/ Blade" ordered from Ebay worked perfectly.
    All totaled $125, peace of mind=priceless
    If anyone in the Atlanta area needs a spare key made, I'll be happy to help!
