Step 1: Determine if you are replacing a missing fob or adding a new one. Some vehicles require all remotes to be present during programming to maintain full system functionality.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment with a certified technician or dealer who has the proper diagnostic tools to perform smart key fob programming.
Step 3: Bring all functional remotes with you. Remotes that are not present during the session may be removed from the system.
Step 4: If your vehicle can be driven, visiting the technician’s location is often more cost-effective than requesting a mobile service call.
Step 5: If no remotes are currently working, prepare to present proof of ownership—such as a vehicle title or registration—before programming can begin.
Step 6: The technician will connect advanced diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s onboard system to securely program and activate the new smart key fob.
Step 7: After programming is complete, test all key fob functions—including locking, unlocking, trunk release, and engine start—to confirm proper operation.
