    Has anyone done business with ToyotaPartsDeal.com? I like their price on what I think is a replacement fob for a 2005 Prius. However I can't seem to get an email response, and their telephone number is not for customer service.

    Here is Toyota’s website for internet parts pricing.
    https://parts.toyota.com/
    You can choose a dealer, they often have different prices and even choose pickup at counter and pick up the parts at the dealer counter you choose.

    I use Olathe for parts. They are very helpful and once actually called me to say there database was wrong and the part number for a part I ordered does not go to my car and had the right part for me. They have my business now.

    Yes, I've bought parts at ToyotaPartsDeal before (bought online, no phone needed). It was shipped from Osaka, Japan and took about 4 weeks. Got stuck in customs too.

    Thanks everyone. Having just one fob will not do. We did find the lost one but the caution still exists. For some reason (even if Fob1 is in the Prius) the helpful Prius will lock all the doors if walking too close to the car. Have no idea why.

    It’s not.supposed to lock the doors unless you push the button. Your fob has the lock button stuck on.

    Getting ready to order and a bit surprised. Prices are okay but 20.00 Shipping plus seems a bit much. What's so special about shipping a small part (FOB)/

    From what site? I don’t think that uncommon with a lot of sites. I always try to factor in shipping and sales tax when I buy something online. Sometimes the best overall price isn’t the lowest one.
