    Hello, my key fell out of my pocket and has been lost in the snow. Dealer wants $466 to replace it and program a new one. Also it'd cost $120 to tow the car there, so I'm looking to avoid paying $586.

    I'm fairly confident my car is Non-SKS (I couldn't just have the key and open the door to get in, and there's no black patch on the door handle).

    What I've found by googling is this:

    1. Successful SKS Reset using Mangoose cable and used Keyfob registration | Page 2 | PriusChat

    ^this seems to be only for reprogramming an SKS key w/o an original, and

    2. Finally! How to program a non-SKS key/fob. Detailed! | PriusChat

    ^This seems to be for reprogramming a non-sks key w/ the original.

    Unfortunately I don't fit into either of these groups.

    If someone had information to help me, it'd be greatly appreicated.

    -Thanks

    welcome!

    i don't think they made non sks gen 3 (2010-15) be careful reading threads from gen 2, it is different. but idk if you can or not. try contacting some locksmiths, the better ones have a handle on these things.
    you have package four? should be 3 door sks i would think. there are small grooves on top of the door handle you touch to lock, and placing your fingers inside the handle unlocks. the rubber pad was gen 2 (2004-2009)

    all the best!(y)

    Whoops, I have the II, I filled that out wrong, so I maybe I do have the SKS system, in which case I can try that first poster's thing.

    You have a 2012, though so it is a Generation 3 Prius.
