    I have a 2014 Prius C. and I like to skip the dealer tech programming a replacement key for the car. do I need like on some older cars 2 WORKING master keys. or can my good one code a blank and if so what's the procedure. i know a RESEED is 300 but i figured i have one WORKING key ... thanks.

    As far as I know you only need one master key. But the Prius C keys use a rotating transponder code, so you can't simply use a "clonable key" (one that duplicates the original key's ID). I believe the pairing procedure requires special equipment that only the dealers have. I spent a fair amount of effort trying to find an "automotive locksmith" that could get me a new key and none of them were able to deal with the car, so I eventually caved and had the dealer do it.
