2001 Prius Keyless Entry FCC ID

Hello!

I recently purchased a 2001 Toyota Prius. I absolutely love it.

My Prius did not come with any keyless entry FOB's, and I am looking at getting a couple. Is this even possible? If anyone has the FOBs for their 2001 Prius, will you please post the FCC ID and part number, so I can find a couple that will work? From what I have found on eBay, the FCC ID that should work is HYQ12BAN, but I want to be sure. My local dealer did not know what it was...

Also, will a remote that has a trunk opener work with the 2001 Prius?

 

I found one on eBay that works!

So, to anyone with a first generation Prius (2001-2003) who is looking for a keyless entry remote, the remote you get MUST be FCC ID: HYQ12BAN

The remote I bought is a factory Toyota remote. An aftermarket version may work, as long as it has the same FCC ID. I suggest getting a remote like the one shown here,

Keyless Entry Remote Fob Clicker for 2006 Toyota Corolla With Do-It-Yourself Programming:Amazon:Automotive

with the lock and unlock buttons on the front and the panic button on the back. Note that the actual remote for sale in the link will not work for a first generation Prius, but the style is the same.

The information on the back of my remote is as follows:

-FCC ID: HYQ12BAN
-CANADA: 15511021295
-RSS-210
-DENSO

If you buy a remote, get one with the FCC ID that I listed. Then, use the programming instructions shown here:

I followed the instructions outlined on the above linked website, and I am happy to say that I now have a working remote!

And as for a remote with a trunk button, one will not do you any good, as the factory Prius did not come with the actuator for that function. I'm not sure if the remote with a window button will work or not.
