$400 key FOB?

cav · 11-03-2009, 07:32 PM

Hey all Prius lovers. Don't lose your keys. I just learned form my dealer in TX that it would be about $400 for a new one. The key itself is about $200 and then comes the "programming". Is this a rip off or what? I think this outrage needs to be heard by Toyota execs. Does the Insight have $400 keys?

Find a new dealer or look up how to purchase one and have it programed for much cheaper. Details can be found using the search button.

FWIW, some of the 2-way remotes for high end alarm systems retail for $200 as well.
