Alright, I have made a huge error and mailed a fob to someone who will be using my car later this summer. It has disappeared from the Pahoa PO (tracking begins and ends there). I've already called the dealer and there were a half dozen steps they had to go through to get a new key-fob, including ordering from mainland, cutting key in HNL and programming locally. Two weeks minimum. Additionally I have to wait to find out from PO whether package is actually lost or slow??? Eventually, I'll need a new one, and maybe even another spare, spare. on PrisChats there is talk of buying the fob on line and programming the car to accept it. Has anyone done this and can explain the difficulty or ease in DIY (Y=not Toyota dealer) or bringing eBay fob to dealer and having them do it.
