Step 1: Determine if you are replacing a lost remote or adding a new one. Some systems require all remotes to be present during the programming session.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment with a certified automotive technician or dealer who has the necessary diagnostic tools for smart key fob programming.
Step 3: Bring all existing remotes with you. Remotes not present during the programming process may be removed from the system.
Step 4: If your vehicle is driveable, consider taking it directly to the technician’s location to help reduce service costs compared to mobile assistance.
Step 5: If no functional remotes are available, be prepared to show proof of ownership—such as your vehicle registration or title—before programming can begin.
Step 6: The technician will use professional diagnostic equipment to access your vehicle’s system and program the new smart key fob securely.
Step 7: After programming is complete, test all functions—including lock, unlock, trunk release, and engine start—to ensure everything is working properly.
