    Just got my Prius a week ago, and I love it more with each kilometer driven. I've been introducing the SKS system as a DNA entry. I tell people that the dealership extracted some blood and programmed my DNA into the car so that I don't need a key to open. I had them try to open the door and then showed my open hands with no keys and opened the door. I've had more than a few people bite and then we all have a good laugh. I love this car... I just washed it today, and it's dealership new again! Did I say how much I love this car?

    PS. I Love this Car (do not know if i mentioned it) ;)

    That is hilarious! :lol:

    I just passed your post on to a friend who just bought an Infiniti G35 with Smart Entry. I'm sure he'll get a lot of mileage out of it.

    I love that and will have to try it myself!

    On my previous MINI Cooper the audio controls were on the BACK of the steering wheel, so no one could see them. I had great fun telling people the audio had voice control (which it didn't), and then playing with them when it would only 'respond to me', telling them that obviously their english accent was flawed!

    Love this fun...

    8) That's odd! I tried it on myself and it didn't work. :roll:

    Hmm. DNA technology, eh? So do you have to stick your thumb on a little needle on the car and wait as it extracts and sequences the DNA from your cells?

    Ah, the joy of sci-fi and made-up Prius stories are wasted on a molecular biologist. :oops:

    I've used the fingerprinting and also the voice recognition.

    It gets even more fun when you factor in that the RF is directional. If you have the fob in your pocket on the driver's side, a passenger can't open the door. So I have passengers try to open the doors and I'll say, "remind me when we get home to enter your fingerprints into the database."

    Or, at night, as I approach the car with the fob in my pocket, I'll say, "Prius, recognize Tony Schaefer." Just like magic, the lights will come on without me even touching the car. Some people fall for it, others just laugh and call me a nerd. It's funny because it's true.

    Ah yes, the "biometric scam".

    Haven't tried retinal scan yet -- maybe if I stare into the rear-view mirror.

    Tell them to "program" the car to recognize them by getting on their knees and staring into the little plastic cover on the front bumper tow hole.

    Then hit the horn.
