    3-4 hundred bucks at the dealer. ebay has them, you have to be careful about what may work and what won't. do a lot of searching here first. also thread by member 'ovni'. a good locksmith may be able to work some magic, but don't pay anything until you have a working fob in your hands. all the best!(y)

    Here's one on ebay for $180:

    The same seller has a smart key one for $225.

    The 2012 Prius C smart key ($250 at dealer, $175 wholesale) does not include the insert key. If I understand correctly you can get a laser cut key for about $100. I think you can by a key slug insert for about $14. Programming runs about an hour labor. Again, there are those who say they can reprogram a used remote; make sure you get that in writing in case something goes south. The smart money is get it all done at one place-unfortunately, that's probably going to be the dealer so it could be $450 (remote, lazer key, programming)-what a rip-off, eh??
