I'm still kind of wary about taking my Prius to a regular-car mechanic who might or might not know what he's doing. Thanks in advance for helping out a fellow Priusian!  |

The safest bet is to bring it to a dealer, same charge. I've bought it to a regular mechanic once before, and they did ok. I saw that the program in their computer asks if the car has the smart key function. I guess the state was smart enough to make the test program compatible with all cars. But I had to tell the mechanic how to get into Ig-On without starting the engine (tap power button twice without press on brake). |

Just take it to the dealer. The cost is the same. But wherever you take it to, make sure you only pay the reduced 1 year old inspection fee (I think it's only like $10), instead of the much higher regular fee (what is that now ... $35, $40?). |
