Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions for the 2008 Scion xB

Important Note: These instructions apply to programming the remote (keyless entry) functions of a remote head key. If the key includes a transponder chip, it must be cut and electronically programmed by a qualified technician. If the key is a non-transponder, only cutting the blade is necessary—no programming is required for the key portion.

Step-by-Step Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Start with the key removed from the ignition.
• Step 2: Open and unlock the driver’s door. Make sure all other doors and the trunk are closed.
• Step 3: Within 5 seconds, insert the key into the ignition and remove it twice.
• Step 4: Close and open the driver’s door two times.
• Step 5: Insert the key into the ignition once more, then remove it again.
• Step 6: Close and open the driver’s door two more times.
• Step 7: Insert the key into the ignition and leave it inserted.
• Step 8: Close the driver’s door.
• Step 9: Turn the ignition ON, then OFF without starting the engine.
• Step 10: Remove the key from the ignition.
• Step 11: The door locks will cycle (lock and unlock) once, indicating the vehicle has successfully entered programming mode.
• Step 12: On the first remote: Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for approximately 1.5 seconds. Immediately release both buttons, then press and hold the LOCK button for about 2 seconds.
• Step 13: The door locks will cycle once to confirm successful programming. To program additional remotes, repeat Step 12 for each one. If no more remotes are being added, proceed to Step 14.
• Step 14: Open the driver’s door to exit programming mode. The setup is now complete.
