My 2020 Prime went extinct. :( gone

As someone who totaled their 2017 when it hit a steel block on the freeway (oil pan was munched), I can feel your pain.

My best advice is if you still have access to the car make sure to strip out all of the accessories you can find.

 

sorry man! all the best with your search. fobs might be worth a bit as well.

 

What about the battery?
Floor mats
Flat tire inflator

 

Forgot about the battery lol. Definitely took my floor mats, trunk mat and extra key fob. Also took my spare HOV stickers.. but that's another story.

 

I’m sorry bud I feel your pain. I hope something will come even better your way soon.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your car.
:-(

It needs to be re-initialized/made virgin.
There are people on ebay that can do that.
Iirc, it's ~$30 with s&h???

Note: Virgin keys can be used with only specific models/years/?trims?.
Yes, it can be involved. That's why on ebay, when you buy virgin smart keys, you often need (should) send your VIN (or a VIN of a similar year, model, trim).

I got a new virgin key, from a Toyota dealership, for ~$90 with s&h. It didn't come with the manual door key.
The manual door keys come blank, are separate, and need to be cut by capable locksmiths (using another key as master).
Some Locksmiths can also program a new virgin smart key, as long as you bring a "master key". Iirc, all programmed Prius Prime keys are master keys.
There are a limited number of keys that can be programmed per car at a time. So, you can't program 50 keys for a Prius Prime, and have them all work at the same time.
The max number of keys that can be programed into the car at a time, may be ???5???.
So, if you have 6+ drivers in the family, and you want them to all have their own key, then you're SOL.
Actually, they can all have their own key. It's just that all of the keys won't work.


To replace all lost keys (program a new unique vehicle key-code), that always requires a code (obtained from Toyota). At most Dealerships, mechanics need an additional signature sign-off.
That's also an $extra$ charge, and may require proof of vehicle ownership.
I don't know where the non-techstreams scanners get codes. Or, if they can even get codes for newer vehicles.


Good luck on you new car hunt!

 

Sorry for your loss. Make sure they give you market price for it. It sucks to buy a car right now. Are you thinking about replacing it with the same or something else?

 

I learned the hardway. Alway impact the other vehicle not the immovable object. Got hit and pushed into a pole. Insurance adjuster said the other vehicle took most of the momentum and the pole did only a bit of damage. But it also placed blame on the other driver. Car was totalled.
I'M Interested in your Charger. PM me.

Happy you are not hurt. Cars can be replaced.

 

Umm... look at message #14 from Blue_Adept.

 

Good morning. STORM88000. I PM'd you. Check your progfile for my messages. I'll take the charger.

 

Maybe an issue with the site?
