2014 Scion xD Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Instructions

Important Notice: The 2014 Scion xD does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Programming must be performed by a qualified technician using specialized diagnostic equipment.

Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

  • Step 1: Locate a certified automotive technician or authorized service provider equipped to program smart key systems using professional-grade diagnostic tools.
  • Step 2: Confirm that the technician is familiar with your vehicle’s keyless entry system to ensure accurate and compatible remote fob programming.
  • Step 3: If the vehicle is operable, consider driving it to the technician’s location to reduce potential service costs associated with mobile appointments.
  • Step 4: Bring all current remotes with you. Some systems require all remotes to be present during programming to keep them active.
  • Step 5: Be ready to provide proof of ownership, such as the vehicle registration or title, especially if no working keys are available.
  • Step 6: The technician will connect diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s onboard computer system to access key programming functions.
  • Step 7: The new smart key remote fob will be electronically programmed to the vehicle, enabling full keyless entry and ignition functionality if equipped.
  • Step 8: Once programming is complete, the technician will test the remote to verify proper operation of all features, including locking, unlocking, and starting (if applicable).
  • Step 9: Confirm that all previously programmed remotes are still functional. If not, they may need to be reprogrammed during the same session.
  • Step 10: Consider having a spare remote programmed at the same time to prevent future inconvenience in case of key loss or damage.
