The key programming is only valid for the classic. You need the scan tool for the HSD, and even then, it is confusing, especially with SKS.

But yes, you should be able to have your dealer cross-register your fobs. Please note though, the mechanical key backup won't match. This will be a problem getting into the car if the fob or car battery should die. You might want to have one of those credit card keys made for both cars for both of you.

My dealer service dept says no, cannot cross register our 2 (2nd eta 21july) 2006 smart keys. Anyone in FL or South GA had this done yet? After prius 2's arrival I'll double check w/ service, but it would be nice to know to whom I can refer my dealer to who actually knows. I know the '06 smart key does not match with pre-'06 prius'.

I'm in Orlando but travel to Tampa at least 1x a week, so Tampa a definite option.

Thanks for the help!

You have to cut a wire and install a switch. Go to http://www.darelldd.com/ev/prius_speed_wire.htm to see where to cut and http://priuschat.com/index.php?act=A...e=post&id=3457 if you decide to remove the A/C vent cover in order to cut the wire down below.

Does this work on the '06? I'm interested in both the allow-NAV-input and the allow-rear-video features.

cheers

Since the older cars retained the lifetime mileage and my dealer apparently keeps track of them doesn't it make sense that the information is still in the computer somewhere on the 2006 model? Does anyone know if any of the hidden buttons on the display (or any other) screen can be manipulated to display the lifetime mileage?
Thanx

You will still get four beeps if you don't have the seatbelt fastened at power-up, even in "b-off" mode. What you will NOT get is a constant beeping as you drive down the street.

Has anyone been able to disable the passenger seatbelt beep. I was successful in my '06 with the drivers seatbelt beep, but not so lucky with the passeger.
thanks.

Disabling Reverse Beep
• Power on the car, Cycle ODO/TRIP, stopping on ODO, Power off the car.
• Power on, within 6 seconds, hold ODO for at least 10 seconds.
• While still holding ODO shift into Reverse and back into Park.
• b-on shows on speedometer display, press ODO to cycle to "b-off".

• This also works for the seatbelt beep, replace shifting with buckling/un-buckling.

Hey, everybody.

I can't get this to work at all on my new '07.
At step 4 above, the speedometer display shows "0 mph"

Anyone know how to get this to work? The beep is driving me crazy!

TIA

I'm sorry but I just don't understand why everyone wants to disable the seatbelt warning beep - it does turn off once you put on the seat belt.. We've always made it a rule that everyone in the car must have their seat belts on before we will move the car. I does save lives after all, and you can get ticketed if you don't wear your seat belt.

They call it an "accident" for a reason ... not many people plan to crash their car - it usually happens when you don't expect it!

Last weekend when the two burritos in the passenger seat were activating the beep disabling it crossed my mind.

When they said b-on shows on speedometer display, press ODO to cycle to "b-off", they meant on the odometer, not the speedometer.

Personally, I put on my safety belt because it's the right thing to do, not because my will to resist is beaten into submission by some lame beeping noise.

It's nice to be able to move the car a short distance without having to buckle up, too.

I don't have beeping burritos, but my Pug sure does make the seatbelt warning beep go off.
