Hey Justin Looks easy enough. Where can I access the directions you were reading from your phone?

[@sanman187-]

No link in description. "Bluh bluh bluh" didn't help either. Glad it worked for you. How about posting a written sequence of steps, with no "bluh bluh bluh."

Thumb down for gatekeeping the actual instructions. Link to them in description

[@inscrutianaII]

There is a cut at 2:33 -2:34, so I guess the bluh bluh bluh must have been something important. I don't often downvote because I appreciate the time taken, but this content is found by people with a problem and you've provided no care.

[@stubbornaneed]

My problem was different, my car won't respond to the wireless key even though the batteries were working, i tried this method to reprogram the same old key and it worked.

[@tobysarsi6864]

Justin, you really shouldn't post this video without including the steps in your written comments or at the very least, the link you used on your mobile phone that you were following in your video. Self-congratulations is great, but you're not really helping other Prius owners to help achieve the same results you appear to be showing in your video.

[@JustInTechh]

toby sarsi thanks for your feedback!

[@CalFunInSun]

Hm he seems determined NOT to post any links or further explanation like maybe Toyota be harassing him over the phone for outmaneuvering them, doesn’t make sense though if he wants more followers, I guess he doesn’t care to make money off KZbin, seemed like has potential though just follow up, man!

Program a Prius 2008 Silver Logo FOB- (Chicken Dance Simplified) Doug Smith revised 07-08-21 PROCEDURE 1: Starting the Prius Note: Procedure can be done with the windows rolled down. 1- Insert the OLD working fob into the slot, 5 times. Leave in Leave it in on the fifth time 2 - Open then CLOSE the driver's door 6 times. 3 - Remove the OLD fob from the slot. The Prius is now in fob programming mode. 4 - Insert the NEW fob and let it remain in the slot. Watch the blinking red light on the dashboard. (at least 2 minutes) When the light stops blinking and goes out, the new fob is programmed (for starting engine only, not the locks!) Remove the new fob. 5 - Open then CLOSE Door. (Test both fobs to ensure they work properly) PROCEDURE 2 Programming Door Lock/Unlock (Silver Logo Key Fob - must be New or renitialized at Dealer or Locksmith) 1 - Open door - leave open Open the unlocked Prius driver's door. (leave open with no fob in slot) 2 - Insert then REMOVE OLD fob twice Insert and remove the OLD fob into the dashboard slot 2 times within five seconds. 3 - Close then OPEN Door Twice Close then open the driver's door 2 times , 4 - Insert then REMOVE OLD fob once Insert and remove the OLD fob again 1 time. 5 - Close then OPEN Door Twice Close then open the driver's door again 2 times . Leave open. 6 - Insert OLD fob, then CLOSE the Door Insert the OLD fob in the slot again 1 time , and close the driver's door. 7 - Power off Button 3 times (no brake) , Press the power button 3 times (for 1-2 seconds each time pause a second between pressing Do that without pressing the brake pedal - Car turns off remove the OLD fob from the slot. 7.1 - Remove OLD Key from slot ... 8 - OLD Fob: Press and hold lock and unlock key simultaneously for 1.5 sec Open the door, exit the Prius, and The "add mode" is now engaged. (The Prius should automatically lock and unlock the doors twice to verify "add mode" is activated.) 9 - Repeat with new Key. HOLD down 2-3 seconds Press both buttons on NEW the fob simultaneously and hold both down for at least 2 secs. No sound or locking will happen. 10 - Immediately Press just the Lock Button on the New Key Within three seconds of releasing the buttons, press just the lock button. The Prius should respond by locking/unlocking the doors once. This verifies that the new fob is working. If it locks more than once, you may have a key that was programmed to another car and not reinitialized. Use a new key or get it reinitialized at the locksmith (avoid the dealers if possible) 11 - Open and Close Door Exit the programming mode by opening the door and closing the door or putting a fob in the slot. 12 - Test the lock unlock button of the NEW FOB Test the new key with the old Key out of range

where did you find the instructions ? Your U tube video is not for older people. I cannot follow your fast instuctions.

[@Mohibravicarb]

Thank you

[@maxbsilva]

What if you’re current fob doesn’t unlock or lock doors

[@JustInTechh]

I believe without one working fob you will need the dealership.

[@amormya16]

Hi i moved to a remote mexican place with my prius. Ordered a new fob and followed the instructions to program it. It worked but the keyless feature stopped working even on my old fob. How can i fix that? Now i have to insert the key to start it. And i liked the other way better. There is gotta be a way to fix that. Please help me

[@freddcast3465]

Check under the steering wheel there's 2 buttons one is the tpms sensor reset and the other one is for the key, the one for the key it have to be all the way out, if it's the opposite way, the smart key will not work, just to lock and unlock the car

[@curtistw2724]

I trid same used fob from auris not even the Prius but same key model name for my Prius 2005 and it's working well ,sec part is very complicated but thanks for the verbal clear guide, I just follow it , pause and play and yes it's working cheers :)

[@JustInTechh]

Nice 👍

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

Just watched another video and it was nothing like yours for the gen ll

[@ZZYDDD]

Wtf that was horrible.

[@Immunologist-BCell]

Hi, Do ytou have video for Gen 3, 2011 Prius. I want to make another key for backup

[@ShahGAutos90]

Can you post the link to the key fob? Thank you 😊

[@tarynekis2736]

Does your old key still work

[@JustInTechh]

Hey man, here's the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089KNGNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sorry about the delay!

[@stubbornaneed]

@@tarynekis2736 thank you

[@freeflyer6170]

Why do you have that utterly obnoxious sound at the beginning?

[@freeflyer6170]

Also, why not qualify whether your programming the smart key or the standard key. Might save some folks some time .

[@christopherhuber2517]

Chicken dance...... very true

[@TaylorKing-wu2sr]

What if you dont have your original key fob?

[@JustInTechh]

You’d need to go to the dealer.

[@growleym504]

At 2:21 you became totally unintelligible and you totally lost me. Sounds like a rapid "blahblahblahblahblah". What does that mean in English? PLEASE, do NOT post instructional videos that do not contain clear and complete instructions. That is, after all, the whole point of instructions, to be understood and followed. Meanwhile, thumb down.

[@Brad_Jenkins]

Where did you get the FOB

[@JustInTechh]

Hey Bradley, Sorry about the delay. This is the link to the key I purchased. Please make sure it matches the FCC ID on your key as well. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089KNGNQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thank you! Justin
