Programming Procedure

• Step 1: Locate a Qualified Professional Find a certified automotive technician or service provider who has the required equipment to program smart key remote fobs for your vehicle.
• Step 2: Consider Cost-Effective Options If your vehicle is still drivable, consider driving it to the technician’s location. This could help save you money compared to having the technician come to you.
• Step 3: Prepare All Key Fobs Ensure that you have all current and new key fobs ready for programming. Some systems may require all existing fobs to be present during the programming process.
• Step 4: Provide Proof of Ownership The technician may request proof of ownership, such as your vehicle’s registration or title, before beginning the programming process.
• Step 5: Connect to the Vehicle’s System The technician will use specialized diagnostic equipment to connect to your vehicle’s system. This equipment allows the technician to securely access your vehicle's security system and begin the programming procedure.
• Step 6: Programming the Smart Key Remote Fob The technician will use the diagnostic tools to program the new remote fob, ensuring it is securely paired with your vehicle’s system and functions properly.
• Step 7: Test the Programmed Fob Once the programming is complete, the technician will test the remote fob to ensure it works properly with your vehicle, including verifying the remote entry and keyless start features.
• Step 8: Program Additional Fobs (If Needed) If additional key fobs need to be programmed, the technician will repeat the process for each one. All fobs should be programmed during the same session to ensure they synchronize with your vehicle’s system.
