Losing your key fob

[emoji106]
Had to grab a hotel, lol. I got the key made and the computer reflashed and he found out he only had Prius fobs. I have to wait till Toyota opens tomarrow to get a right fob for the key. Lol Toyota changed everything in 2018, even for the 2017 models, each sr5 model uses a different fob, what's up with that toyota!
 
Really easy to program a new one. I got one from Amazon for $10 and it's just as good as the old one.
How did you program a new fob? I didn't have a laptop to hook to the truck to reprogram the whole system. If it's just the fob it would've been 10$, but it was the key and fob, different story I think for 2017 and above.
 
I'd call the hotel reservations number you'll always get a person and they're usually helpful. Have the res clerk try to locate your fob and overnight it. My son works for the local Toyota dealer, and my 18 OR is around $500 for the fob plus labor to reprogram.

Wow 500$, plus labor, wow! Toyota in st Louis only charges 300$ all together. My locksmith is only charging me 350$. Toyota told me it would've been cheaper with a locksmith instead of towing there and if I had to pay uber it would've cost the same. I'm just biting the bullet, it's just money(it comes and goes). No biggy. I've tried calling the hotel now 6 times since yesterday and still no response. I think the fob was stolen out of my room with my Cubs jacket. I never noticed my jacket was missing until I got to my airport terminal. The only thing the hotel front desk does is relay messages and housekeeping never answers the phone. Anyone going to Orlando, beware of red lion hotel if you get something stolen or left behind.
