Key Fobs

i think 3 is the max, but not positive.

 

The limit is 5 currently registered keyfobs. On a used vehicle, there may be lost keyfobs that are no longer available, but still included in the count. The solution is to delete the lost ones.

 

Update: 5 for Gen2, I think Gen3 can have 7.

 

I would ask PC member "hooktern". I think he is the guru on this subject.

 

You need access to a "seed lookup" service in order to use Techstream to program used FOBs. Dealers and mechanics who have a "Security Professional" account have the proper service. Some locksmiths have a similar capability. There is also a company in Lithuania that sells seeds for something like $35. I don't recall the thread, but a search for "keyfob seed" should find it. Shouldn't take more than a week to read all the keyfob threads...

 

Take a look at Successful SKS Reset using Mangoose cable and used Keyfob registration

 

I just bought a used 08 standard Prius yesterday. It came with one keyfob with black symbol on back and FCC ID: M0ZB21TG; IC: 2584A-B21TG; TOKAI RIKA CO, LTD in battery compartment.
I am looking for used keyfob on ebay but may only say 08 compatible but don't list the FCC ID.
Will I be able to use a keyfob that doesn't have the same FCC ID?

I understand that I should erase any registered keyfobs that I don't have possession of.

I don't have a black button on my door handle so I don't think that I have SKS. (Car didn't come with a manual but I found it online at Toyota.) I ordered a Mangoose cable and techstream software and blank key via eBay last night. If I don't have an SKS system, will I still need to use a company like Sigmabit to get reset a passcode in order to program my car to accept the used keyfob?

 

No, all you need to do is go to the Gen II Prius Main Forum and one of the"sticky" threads tells you how to program fobs. It will be one of the first threads in yellow.
Here is the thread

How to Program a New Key Fob for Full SKS Functionality | PriusChat

 

I looked there before posting. If my car doesn't have SKS, does that chicken dance stuff still apply to me?

 

The first part of it does. Read the post carefully, it is all spelled out but feel free to ask me any questions. I'm here to help you if you need it.

 

Here's the link for the non SKS (black logo) key fob. Like usnavy said, the routine is the same, but you skip the last steps for the SKS section.

Good input Ron. I never saw that thread before but by reading it, I may have to update the sticky.

SteelerFan13,
Pls let me know if the steps in Ron's link above work for you and what functionality you achieve after?

 

I do note there is a couple of variations in the sequence when you read the entire string. I can't say if it works or not as I have not had the opportunity to try any of them.
