Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Instructions for the 2015 Scion tC

Important Notice: The 2015 Scion tC does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Programming requires advanced diagnostic tools and must be performed by a trained automotive technician.

Step-by-Step Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Verify that the replacement smart key is specifically designed for use with the 2015 Scion tC. An incompatible remote may not function correctly even after programming.
• Step 2: Gather any required documents, such as vehicle registration or proof of ownership, which may be necessary—particularly if all original keys are lost.
• Step 3: Contact a certified automotive technician or service provider with experience in smart key systems. They must have access to specialized diagnostic equipment.
• Step 4: If your vehicle is operational, consider driving it to the service location. This may reduce service costs compared to requesting a technician to travel to you.
• Step 5: During the appointment, the technician will connect professional diagnostic tools to your vehicle’s onboard computer system to complete the programming process.
• Step 6: Once programming is complete, test all smart key functions—such as locking, unlocking, and push-button start (if applicable)—to ensure everything is working as expected.
