Step 1: Determine whether you are replacing a lost key fob or adding an additional one. Some systems may require all remotes to be programmed together.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment with a certified technician or authorized dealer who has the proper diagnostic equipment to perform smart key programming.
Step 3: Bring all current remotes with you to the appointment. Any remotes not present during the session may be removed from the system.
Step 4: If your vehicle is operable, taking it to the technician’s location may be a more cost-effective option than requesting mobile service.
Step 5: If no functional remotes are available, be prepared to provide proof of ownership—such as a vehicle registration or title—before programming can begin.
Step 6: The technician will use advanced diagnostic tools to connect to the vehicle’s system and securely program the new smart key fob.
Step 7: After programming is complete, test all key fob functions—including lock, unlock, trunk access, and engine start—to confirm successful operation.
