Step 1: Determine whether you're replacing a missing remote or adding a new one. Some systems may require all remotes to be programmed together.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment with a certified technician or authorized dealer equipped with the appropriate diagnostic tools for smart key programming.
Step 3: Bring all existing remotes with you. Remotes not present during the programming session may be removed from the system.
Step 4: If your vehicle is operational, driving it to the technician’s location may help reduce service costs compared to requesting on-site service.
Step 5: If no remotes are currently working, be ready to provide proof of ownership—such as your vehicle registration or title—before programming can proceed.
Step 6: The technician will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s onboard system to program and securely pair the new smart key fob.
Step 7: Once programming is complete, test all remote functions—including locking, unlocking, engine start, and trunk access—to ensure everything operates correctly.
