Where to get new key

First before you do anything talk to a locksmith in your area that does this kind of work and see if he's got the universal machinery that most people and other countries besides the USA usually have he'll be able to read your transponder codes and all of that kind of stuff and duplicate them onto something else maybe even a cool looking remote that you might like that may or may not fit in the slot if you have that model of car there's all kinds of things you can do now or is it some capable special machine wielding locksmith can and usually I found those in Europe not in the States If you have your original remote when you slide the key out and slide the back off there's a gray sticker take a photograph of that if you haven't already that has all the numbers and information that speaks to your cars SKS electronic system which is the perimeter security and all the recognition of the remote without it being out and touched and all that but yes it can be done in for reasonable today Don't fall for any of the shysters.

 

Yeah you can generally get SKS silverback remotes on eBay LKQ well you're in Australia so I don't know what to tell you about salvaging the United Kingdom but I get them all the time I don't ever use them because usually the cars I'm buying have them coming with them so for a while I had a drawer full of them and then I didn't because nobody ever cared about him when the drawer was full.

 

For about $500 you can get the Xtools D8. And register the keys, plus have access
too all the other sytems and diagosis.
Update: I also programed in new TPMS sensors. It was extremely easy!
It was easy to get to the section that says program new sensores.
Then I typed in the sensor numbers I wrote down before installing them.
Clicked the finish and it was done! Set the tires to 38PSI and reset the system with
the button under the steering wheel, no more flashing light or light. And the D8 read
the pressures and temp's. Nifty!

Does Xtools D8 have smart box reset function for gen 3 prius? When I was looking for a device that had this function, I couldn’t find confirmation on the internet and bought one that definitely had it.

 

First time I've ever heard of a "smart box reset function". Don't know what it is.
The D8 can do everything Techstream can do. Plus, it works for pretty much ALL vehicles,
not only Toyota's.

 

Using this function you don't have to deal with the seed # in all key lost situation like you have to do it in the Techstream.

 

I take it this is what you mean by "smart box reset function"?
I don't believe that's what it's actuall called, but I remember seeing something
about reseting the keys. Since I didn't need, or want to do that, I didn't mess with it.

Since you just need to "add" a key, you don't need to go through all of that.
