    My son now has my 2005 Prius and has to insert the key to start; i.e., it's lost the electronic recognition. He recently bought a new starter battery and then this problem happened after a couple of months.

    How about new batteries for the key fob?

    Why did you decide to post in the area for the 2012+ Prius v wagon?
