Smart Key Remote Programming Instructions – 2019 Polestar 1

Important Notice: The 2019 Polestar 1 does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Programming must be completed by a qualified technician using specialized diagnostic tools.

Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Contact a certified automotive technician or authorized service provider with experience in smart key systems and access to manufacturer-approved diagnostic equipment.
• Step 2: Confirm that the technician is equipped with the appropriate tools to interface with your vehicle’s electronic control system and perform secure key registration.
• Step 3: If the vehicle is in working condition, consider driving to the service provider’s location to help reduce service fees associated with mobile visits.
• Step 4: Schedule an appointment in advance to ensure availability and confirm the technician has the correct equipment for your specific vehicle model.
• Step 5: Bring all existing smart keys to the appointment. Some systems require that all remotes be programmed during the same session to ensure continued functionality.
• Step 6: Upon arrival, the technician will connect a diagnostic interface to the vehicle’s onboard diagnostic port, typically located beneath the dashboard.
• Step 7: The technician will initiate the programming sequence using specialized software to securely register the new smart key to the vehicle’s system.
• Step 8: After programming is complete, the technician will test all remote functions—such as locking, unlocking, trunk release, and push-button start—to confirm proper operation.
• Step 9: Personally test each smart key before completing the visit to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
• Step 10: Store spare remotes in a secure location and consider having an extra key programmed for backup or emergency use.
