    Yep looked at the other posts and got some questions>>>>>

    Ok so I am posting for the wifey, well I finnaly bit the bullet and thankfully got rid of our Land Rover and got an 08 Prius today and all I can say is :D!!!!! I absolutely love it. I am a Jeep guy and never thought I would like this little thing as much as I do but I actually left work early so I could come home and drive it. OK now to the question....like the title says all of the other doors open fine with the smart key and when I go to the drivers side door the interior lights come on but the door will not unlock. The FOB works to open it and lock it just wont open the driver door. I do have a warranty and it will be covered just was wondering if there was something I was missing? A switch or something? Sorry for the asked again and agoin question but I am new to Toyotas and the smart key design. thanks in advance for your help.

    You're not missing anything, sounds like the driver's door lock solenoid is bad or maybe the mechanical linkage needs to be lubricated. A dealer service dept visit is in order.

    There is...you can turn on and off the SKS function. But, not for only one door.
