I have it on my 2010 Prius V w/ATP for the Driver's door, the Passenger door and the rear hatch.

Right.... I meant to save Prius IV or above since Prius V contains all the features of IV.

You mean "say", not "save", right?

The high pitched sound is indicating that a SK is left in the vehicle, or that the car is in "Ready" mode. Both seem to do this for me, unless key is out of car, and the car is "Off".

I have a Prius V with the 3 door SKS. I love the SKS system!

If the fob is in the car or a door is open the car emits a high pitched noise to warn you when you touch the outside sensor.

Thanks Jerry! That was the problem. I forgot to remove the other fob from the car.

Thank you everyone for the input.

I had meant to mention this same issue with regards to rental Priuses, also.

A couple of weeks ago I rented an '09 Prius. I noticed that it had the SKS, and checked to be certain that it was activated. Everything worked well except that I could not use the SKS to lock the car (getting the one "long" beep indicating something was not right).

So I began hunting around. I found the extra fob in the lower glove box, in the bottom of the rear "documentation" section. Once I took it out of the car, then the SKS worked normally.

Those are also valid scenarios. The number of beeps often helps to indicate what the fault is.

When I first got my 2006 Prius, I found myself frequently saying "Now whet the hell is wrong with this car?" as it beeped at me, only to find out that it was smarter than I am. Welcome to the club.

I noticed on my Gen II that if I have the FOB in the hand that is pressing the button I will get that long beep as well. I guess the car thinks the FOB is actually inside the car.
