2018 Toyota 86 Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2018 Toyota 86 does not support onboard programming. Smart key remote fobs must be programmed by a qualified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic tools.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Locate a Certified Automotive Technician Find a technician or service center experienced in programming electronic key systems. Ensure they are properly equipped to handle modern smart key technology.
• Step 2: Check Vehicle Mobility If your vehicle is drivable, consider bringing it to the technician’s location. This may reduce service costs compared to mobile support.
• Step 3: Schedule a Programming Appointment Book an appointment with the technician and provide relevant details, such as how many remotes need programming and whether any are still functional.
• Step 4: Prepare Proof of Ownership If no working remotes are available, be ready to present documentation like the vehicle’s title or registration before programming begins.
• Step 5: Technician Connects Diagnostic Equipment During the appointment, the technician will connect specialized tools to the vehicle’s system to register and program the new smart key fob.
• Step 6: Test All Remote Functions Once programming is complete, test the key fob to ensure that lock, unlock, panic, and engine start (if equipped) functions operate correctly.

Additional Considerations:

• Bring All Key Fobs: Some systems erase previous remotes during programming, so all remotes must be reprogrammed together. Use a Technician with Smart Key Expertise: Proper programming requires experience and the right tools to ensure compatibility and full functionality.
