I have a 2010 Prius which has the wireless feature which allows you to unlock the door without pressing the unlock on the remote. I am wanting to get a second remote to replace the one I lost several years ago. can I program it myself with your instructions?

I have a 2008 Toyota Prius – I want to program keyless entry fob (silver). Will these instructions work? I was told that the dealership and/or locksmith would have to program. True or False?
