I just check the toyota site and it seems all model prius offer smart key systems in every available package. It's as if it is a standard feature. My neighbor's 06' prius has the smart keyfob inserted in the dash. If that's the case then the prius smart key system is different from the one in the lexus and Avalons. Anyway, back on topic.
