That option wasn't mentioned by the parts guy, and I have no keys
available other than the new one(s) I bought a day ago from the Honda
service department, allowing access but not an engine start.

Our local Honda tells me that an additional $80.00 is needed to program it
to start the car.

Default Prius key replacement (was Need New Key, 2011 Fit)

I know, I know...flamethrowers ready everyone. And I know it can get
thin on posts here sometimes for sure. But there's A LOT of
'different' boards right? Looking for a polite slap where I'm
wrong...BUT, 3 weeks of posts here on a Prius key prob on the Honda
board? Hell, I guess it's better than the spam posts about killing
all US diplomats, people of interest, and what their 'crimes' were...I
guess :-)
