The Toyota emergency key blade, and how we set one up.
The second-generation Prius has a quirk that catches owners out. The car is started from a fob that slides into the dash or stays in a pocket on smart-key models, and its 12-volt battery is small. When that battery dies, the doors will not unlock electrically. The way in is a short metal key hidden inside the fob, released by a small catch.
That hidden blade is what this listing replaces. It has no chip and no transmitter, so it cannot start the car and there is nothing to program. Its only job is to open the driver's door, and that means the cuts have to be accurate to that lock.
We cut it on a code machine, from your existing blade, from the key code, or by reading the door lock when the original blade is missing. Many Prius owners discover theirs is gone only on the day they need it, often because it was removed and never put back.
It slips back into the slot in your existing fob. Bring the fob along so we can check the fit. Once it is cut, test it on the driver's door before you leave.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.
