You should probably read this forum posting to the end so you know whatРІР‚в„ўs coming. The rest of the steps are timed so be ready. Keep your OLD working key fob inside the Prius. Following the instructions on the next screen, place the NEW unpaired key fob outside of the Prius. In my case, I have 2 key fobs paired and I can pair an additional 5. The next window tells you how many key fobs are currently paired to your Prius and how many more key fobs you can pair. You will now see a popup window with a checklist.

Then choose РІР‚СљSmart Code RegistrationРІР‚Сњ and click the green arrow on the bottom right to continue. In the next screen, click Utility on the left. So choose the selection that sounds like what you need to program your key fob. Depending on your version (or maybe your vehicle), you may see different names for these features. Select РІР‚СљSmart KeyРІР‚Сњ and click the green arrow on the bottom right. After waiting about a minute, youРІР‚в„ўll encounter a selection screen.

I assume that refers to the functionality to lock your doors by touching that area on your driver door handle. Input your vehicle information into the pop-up window. Then press РІР‚СљConnect to VehicleРІР‚Сњ on the top left. Connect the other end of the cable to the OBDII port under your steering wheel. Connect the Mini-VCI cable to your laptop.

Open up the Techstream software (if itРІР‚в„ўs not already open).

Use a trash can or something to prop it open if you have to.

Go to your Prius and open the driver door.

Installing Techstream software is the most difficult step.

During installation, it also said I needed a newer version of Java.

So just take your time and puzzle through the instructions.

Also, I had to install 2 drivers in Windows Device Manager (not just 1). For example, it would tell me to run a file called РІР‚СљSetup.exeРІР‚Сњ when it was really something like РІР‚СљTIS SETUP.EXEРІР‚Сњ. My version came with instructions that were not very precise. Then go ahead and install Techstream software onto your laptop.

Before installing Techstream, I turned off wifi on my laptop (to avoid Techstream from attempting to connect to Toyota servers).

YouРІР‚в„ўll need to take this to a locksmith to cut for you. This is the physical key to unlock your doors if you lose/break your key fob or if the key fob battery is dead.

Otherwise, you need to perform extra steps to return/reset the used key fob to a РІР‚Сљnew stateРІР‚Сњ, which I do not cover in this write-up. You can certainly buy it from eBay but make sure itРІР‚в„ўs a new key fob thatРІР‚в„ўs never been paired with a car before. I bought Part # 89904-47230 from an online Toyota dealership for ~$100. There may be 2 versions depending on which model you have.

If you only have the cable, you may be able to get Techstream software from bitTorrent or another fileshare service, but I would recommend you just go ahead and buy the complete set on eBay.

Many listings for less than $20 are only selling the cable plus РІР‚СљdriversРІР‚Сњ on a CD (which is NOT the Techstream software). Make sure what youРІР‚в„ўre buying is a physical cable AND the Techstream software.

Mini-VCI cable & Techstream software РІР‚вЂњ I bought my version from eBay for $35 from someone with 1000+ rating and 100% positive feedback.

But if you have to buy an old laptop to do this, then maybe the cheapest/best avenue for you is to go to an automotive locksmith. Fortunately, I had one lying around, but I assume you could buy one for less than $100 if you had to. IРІР‚в„ўve heard that itРІР‚в„ўs preferable to have 32-bit Windows, but I used Windows 7 64-bit and that worked for me.

Other options would be to go to an automotive locksmith, go to your Toyota dealership, or buy an expensive tool (like AUTEL). Officially, this costs over $1,000 (link to flyer) but you can buy a pirated version on eBay for less than $40. This is proprietary software that Toyota service technicians use to work on Toyota vehicles. The cheapest way to program a new key fob to work in your Prius is with the Toyota Techstream software. Starting with Gen3, there is no chicken dance. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about. I am certainly not a pro, but I've tried to impart what I know below.Р”Р‡or Gen2, you can program a key fob using the chicken dance.

I used Techstream version 13.00.022 so my steps and pics may be different from your version. I didnРІР‚в„ўt see anything like this when I searched through the forums so I figured IРІР‚в„ўd write one up, since I have to program my key fob anyway.
