    I reset FOB as per video, no luck. I ordered a new FOB gen 2 case....hopefully that will suffice. Found this 'how to' video...now to find my tiny Philips !

    Would any of that be different if you were in the Southern hemisphere?

    Was that tongue-in-cheek? Otherwise, why would it be any different in the southern hemisphere?

    "Your car is caught up in a whirlpool. The car is facing the center of rotation. You are facing in the direction of whirl. Which way do you turn the key to unlock the door?"

    Odd question, for a Prius anyway. The only keyed lock is on the outside of the driver's door. Why would somebody want to unlock a car door while clinging to a car, or worse, swimming after it, while spinning around in a whirlpool? Maybe a scenario like parent on outside, kid locked inside, for some reason in a whirlpool, must rescue child. However, even if the door was unlocked how would one then open the door against the water pressure?
