The more I drive the Prius, the more I like the keyless operation.
Having had to deal with my share of customer's keyless ignition problems, I'll pass. When something breaks, it can be pretty spendy.

It's programmed to tell me when the fob battery needs to be replaced. I'm thinking a little proactive to better my odds.
