Why is my smart key not working on my 2006 Prius?

I have 2006 Prius with all the bells and whistles. Recently the smart key stopped working. I can not lock/unlock the car by pushing the door handle button or walking up to the car with the keyfob in my purse. The locks only work if I use the button on the keyfob.

How can I unlock my 2007 Toyota Prius?

Why does my Prius door opener not work?

I have a 2008 toyota prius and suddenly two days ago the key FOBs don’t work to open the door. i tried the one FOB that hasn’t been used since forever and has plenty of power, so I don’t think it’s the battery in the remote, but i thought I saw a similar thread in here that I may need to replace the 12 v battery?

Where is the remote access button on a Prius?

Thoughts? Check the Remote Access On/Off button under the steering column, right next to the Reset Tire Monitoring Pressure button. Two black buttons under the sterring column you will probably have to get on you hands and knees to see them easily.
