Hello, This my first Prius purchase and I am loving the vehicle. I lost a key fob and had a locksmith replace it instead of paying triple the cost at a dealer. Now anytime I enter with the new key, the display says that a new key was registered and to see the dealer. The message will not go away from what I gather. The key fob and everything is performing fine. Any way to get rid of the message?
As the locksmith should have explained, the message on the display is for your protection, to keep someone from surreptitiously registering a new key without your knowledge. The Owner’s Manual says the message should go away on its own after about 10 days: ■ If “A New Key has been Registered Contact Your Dealer for Details” is displayed on the multi-information display This message will be displayed each time the driver’s door is opened when the doors are unlocked from the outside for approximately 10 days after a new electronic key has been registered. If this message is displayed but you have not had a new electronic key registered, ask your Toyota dealer to check if an unknown electronic key (other than those in your possession) has been registered.
