    Hello,

    2008 Prius
    Recently lost my remote, trying to have 2 remotes in case I end up losing my last one.
    Purchased a used (silver logo) fob from eBay.
    I programmed the remote to START the car using the "chicken dance" but I couldn't get the UNLOCK/LOCK doors programming. I keep getting stuck at the simultaneous pressing of 2 buttons on both remotes. Someone please help! All help would be appreciated.

    If you read the entire "chicken dance" post, you will notice that full functionality cannot be achieved on a "used" fob.
