I saw one video where a locksmith programed two Leaf fobs in around a minute.  I can see why your locksmith didn't want you to see what he was doing.  I suspect the expensive tool a dealer or locksmith uses lets them justify the high price of programing.  However I suspect the 85 dollar unit

I have a 2014 Volt, which I've drove the past 2200 miles electric only.  The charge door on my Volt is just push it and it pops open.  Almost all new cars have the $300 key, they even try to sell you insurance when you buy a new car for the key, along with a bunch of other BS they try to sell

I have a 2013 Leaf. It has a charging door open button inside at the left of the steering wheel. I normally use the ‘inside’ button when I get home and the EV is parked for the day. Occasionally, I forget to unlock the door before I get out, or if I happen to not plug it in until later in

I bought my i-MiEV used and it only came with one original key. That wasn't going to be enough, so I took the OEM key to a locksmith and he was able to clone it. I don't remember, but I think it only cost like $50 - $100. ILCO makes the blanks and read/write equipment, and it seems to be pretty

I got only one key with one of my Leafs, so i bought a used key fob off Craigslist and a cheap uncut key off Ebay and had it cut by a local keysmith. Several weeks later i was going in for service at my local dealer, brought the 2nd key and asked them to register the key as part of the service,

This isn't just a Leaf or Prius issue. This is the standard for any programmable key/ key fob. Several people over the past few years, myself included, have misplace their key/ fob on a newer vehicle only to find that the fob costs $100 plus, and the programming is about $200, if you are lucky.
