Step 1: Determine whether you're replacing a lost remote or adding a new one. Some vehicles require all remotes to be present and reprogrammed together.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment with a certified technician or authorized dealer who has the appropriate diagnostic equipment for smart key fob programming.
Step 3: Bring all currently working remotes to the appointment. Any remotes not present during the session may be erased from the system.
Step 4: If the vehicle is drivable, taking it to the technician’s location may reduce service costs compared to requesting mobile assistance.
Step 5: If no functioning remotes are available, be ready to present proof of ownership—such as a vehicle registration or title—before programming can begin.
Step 6: The technician will use specialized diagnostic tools to interface with your vehicle’s onboard system and securely program the new smart key fob.
Step 7: After programming is complete, test all remote functions—including lock, unlock, engine start, and trunk access—to ensure full functionality.
