2014 Scion xB Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Instructions

Important Notice: The 2014 Scion xB does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Remote registration must be performed by a qualified technician using professional-grade diagnostic equipment.

Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Locate a certified automotive technician or authorized service provider who specializes in electronic key programming and has access to the required diagnostic tools.
• Step 2: Confirm that the technician is familiar with smart key systems specific to your vehicle model to ensure compatibility and a successful programming process.
• Step 3: If the vehicle is fully operational, it is recommended to drive it to the technician’s facility. This can help minimize service costs compared to scheduling mobile assistance.
• Step 4: Bring all current remote fobs with you, if available. Some vehicle systems require all remotes to be present during programming to avoid deactivation of existing keys.
• Step 5: Provide valid proof of vehicle ownership, such as a registration or title, especially if all keys have been lost or replaced.
• Step 6: The technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s onboard computer system to initiate the programming session.
• Step 7: The smart key remote fob will be securely programmed and electronically paired with your vehicle's control module to ensure full keyless entry and ignition functionality.
• Step 8: Once programming is complete, the technician will test the newly programmed remote to confirm that all functions (lock, unlock, and ignition start) are working properly.
• Step 9: Verify that any additional remotes still function after the procedure, as some systems may erase existing keys during the process.
• Step 10: Keep a backup remote on hand when possible to avoid future inconvenience in the event of key loss or failure.
