2009 Silver Key Fob Chicken Dance Programming FOB

1. Can you provide the link to the Amazon listing where you bought the key (so we can confirm compatibility)?
2. Can you confirm that SKS fully works with your original key fob?
3. You mention that you're inserting old key 5 times and opening door 6 times. That sounds like Procedure A. Did you do Procedure B? See this Priuschat thread: How to Program a New Key Fob for Full SKS Functionality | PriusChat

 

OK, so we've confirmed that your old key fob is SKS and the new key fob is SKS.
But if Procedure B was successful, you should already have SKS functionality. Procedure A has to do with starting the engine with the key fob inserted into the key slot. So I'm confused as to what exactly isn't working.

I assume your old key fob can do all of these below functions. But which ones can your new key fob do? If it's not obvious, when testing, keep the old key fob far away from the Prius.

• Start/Stop with key fob inserted into key slot
• Start/Stop with key fob in your pocket
• Lock/Unlock doors by pressing buttons on key fob
• Unlock doors by placing hand through door handle (with key fob in your pocket)

I would personally have done Procedure A first (to start/stop the engine while key fob is inserted into key slot) before proceeding to Procedure B (lock/unlock doors remotely + SMART KEY functionality). But it seems you're saying you went ahead and finished Procedure B and now want to do Procedure A. I don't know if order matters (i.e., Procedure A must be successfully done before proceeding to either B or C), but maybe others can chime in on that. Also, I don't know if it's even possible to perform Procedure B without having done Procedure A first (i.e., are you sure Procedure A wasn't already successfully performed such that your current frustration has to do with the Prius not allowing you to perform Procedure A a second time?).

Just to throw it out there, your issue might have to do with too many keys associated with your Prius. When that limit is reached, the Prius will not allow more key fobs to be programmed to it. In that case, you'd need Techstream software to erase the extra keys.
