Programming Instructions for the 2015 Scion iQ Smart Key Remote Fob

Important Notice: The 2015 Scion iQ does not support onboard programming for its smart key remote fob system. Programming must be performed using professional diagnostic tools by a qualified technician.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Confirm Smart Key Compatibility Before proceeding, make sure the smart key fob is compatible with the 2015 Scion iQ. Only matching remotes will be recognized by the system.
• Step 2: Schedule Programming with a Qualified Technician Smart key fobs for this model require a professional with access to Toyota/Scion-compatible diagnostic equipment. Reach out to a local service provider or dealership.
• Step 3: Decide on Location for Programming If the vehicle is drivable, bringing it to the service location is generally more economical than arranging on-site service.
• Step 4: Technician Connects to Diagnostic System Using the OBD-II port, the technician will link diagnostic tools to the vehicle and access the immobilizer and keyless entry system.
• Step 5: Remote Fob Registration The technician will follow manufacturer-specific steps to register the new smart key. All existing remotes may need to be present during this process.
• Step 6: Complete the Process Once programming is completed, the technician will verify that the new remote fob properly performs all intended functions.

Additional Considerations:

• Ownership Verification: In the event of all keys being lost, proof of ownership (such as vehicle registration) may be required before programming.
• System Limitations: The key system can store only a set number of remotes. Adding a new one may overwrite an existing key.
• Function Check: Always test all remote functions after programming—including door lock/unlock and push-button start—to confirm proper operation.
