    Hi everyone,

    I recently lost one of my key fobs for my 2017 Toyota Prius and need to program a new spare. I bought an Autel MaxiIM KM100 for the job, but I've run into a bit of a roadblock.

    When I tried to program the new key, the device asked for a PIN code (or outcode/incode). I'm a bit stuck here—how or where can I get this PIN code? Does the KM100 have a built-in function to bypass/calculate it for this year, or do I need to get it from a third-party service?

    If anyone has successfully programmed a smart key for this generation using the KM100, I would greatly appreciate any tips or step-by-step advice!

    Thanks in advance!

    You probably need a seed code or passcode to make a key. Requires your vin.

    there are 3rd parties that can provide that. It’s suppose to be secure method so people can’t make keys with ease
