Friends: 0 | Re: Adding Smartkey to existing Prius II If you love SKS so much, just make sure you get it in your next vehicle. There is too much work and effort involved. No sane dealer will do it for you, not to mention the cost involved (labor, parts, and uncertainty of success). SKS control locking, and ignition. It has several sensors in hatch, doors, etc. The central BCM (body control module) is different also (needs a new one). The problem may propagate and get out of handl Therefore "cost prohibitive" as said above. |

Friends: 1 | Re: Adding Smartkey to existing Prius II Agree, I'm sure for the cost that it will not be worth the added enjoyment or convenience it will bring to your car experience. |

Friends: 3 | Re: Adding Smartkey to existing Prius II I agree - cost prohibitive. the thing that sucks in my case... I bought my 09 Prius while Toyota was giving $1k off. Not two weeks later it's all said and done, I get an email from the dealer... they were selling their in-stock 09 Prius for an additional $2k off. If they were doing that when I bought, I would have haggled for Package 2 |
