    I wonder what the chances are of recovering one of the stolen FOBs from a pawn shop, ebay, or craigslist.

    But why replace the computer? Surely the Techstream software allows a new FOB to be programmed.

    I guess the computer needs to be replaced so the stolen keys cannot be used to steal Dianne's Prius - double whammy!

    There has to be a way around this. I am not smart enough to recommend a solution but, I'm sure there are people on this site that are smart enough.
