2015 Scion xB Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Instructions

Important Notice: The 2015 Scion xB does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Remote registration must be carried out by a qualified technician using advanced diagnostic equipment.

Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Contact a certified automotive technician or authorized service provider with experience in smart key system programming and access to professional diagnostic tools.
• Step 2: Confirm that the technician is familiar with systems used in your vehicle to ensure proper key integration and to avoid compatibility issues.
• Step 3: If the vehicle is drivable, it is recommended to bring it to the service location. Doing so can help reduce service charges compared to requesting mobile assistance.
• Step 4: Bring all existing remote fobs with you if possible. Some systems require all remotes to be present during programming to ensure they remain active.
• Step 5: Be prepared to show proof of vehicle ownership—such as a title or registration—especially if no working keys are currently available.
• Step 6: The technician will connect a diagnostic interface to your vehicle’s onboard control system to access the remote programming settings.
• Step 7: Using secure procedures, the new smart key remote fob will be electronically programmed to communicate with your vehicle’s keyless entry and ignition system.
• Step 8: After programming is completed, the technician will test the remote functions—including lock, unlock, and engine start—to ensure everything works as expected.
• Step 9: Ask the technician to verify that all other remotes still function correctly, as some systems may deactivate older keys during the process.
• Step 10: Consider having a spare key programmed at the same time to avoid inconvenience in case of future key loss or damage.
