In this video, I'm showing how to program a new transponder chip key for my 2005 Scion tC. It will also work on 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 models. This programming technique is very quick, easy to follow, and it doesn't require any additional tools or computer software. If this method didn't work for you, or if you lost all of your keys, visit my website for more info:

This worked really well. Saved me $50.00 for me the detail about the marking on the blade was not consistent. Mine did not match the master key and it worked just fine.
You do have to do the steps a little faster than his video. But it worked perfectly!
Thank you!
Thanks to this video I was able to program my scion tc 2005. When I got the car it came with a regular key (black one with transporter chip only) After 6 years I learned that I have remote power locks I just bought the transporter chip key on your link. Follow instructions on how to program power lock and transponder chip and and got it right the first time . Now I can open and close my car doors remotely and use that same key to start the engine. THank you DIY-time.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Best video and instructions I have found for programming replacement key for 2005 Scion tC. 2 "key" things to remember: 1) make sure you purchase the key with fob and chip. Costs around $20 for one. If the cost is about half that, you're probably only getting the shell with no guts. 2) There are two separates processes to follow here. First process (whites what the video shows) programs the key, but not the "lock" and "unlock" buttons. Second process which is referenced in the video comments and on the DIY-Time website is what then programs the buttons on the key to lock & unlock the doors.
👌🏼
Awesome! Didn't program correctly first time. Followed the steps again and it worked like a charm. 😁
Glad to hear that!
Thank you, you saved me $100's. *IMPORTANT NOTE* If the key doesn't program on the first try, try it again. If it still doesn't, step on the brake or open the door to reset. Try again. If it still doesn't program take a short drive. Then let the car sit awhile. Retry the programming. It worked for me. But, not on the first few tries.
Awesome, and thank you for sharing your good tips!
This video actually works. Just follow what the instructions say. Thanks again!! Saved hundreds..
Thank you sir, you saved me a lot of money 👍🏽
This just worked on my 2005 TC. Thank you!
Can you send me the link where you purchased your key? I've ordered 2 and so far no luck. I have 2005 Scion TC.
Hello. Please ignore my previous messages. I was able to get it to work. It appears I may have been waiting too long to insert the new key after entering programming mode. I also followed your instructions and got all the buttons to work. Amazing. Thank you so much
Yea, apparently some manufacturers don't bother to make those symbols. As long as it works, you should be fine without the dot.
This worked great. The key I received from eBay had no dot but said it was compatible with the dot that my original key had. When it showed up there was a separate chip that had to placed inside the fob. Don’t throw this away! It’s not just a random piece of plastic.
Nice!
Hey.
Do you know exactly what the little dot actually do? Is that maybe an indication of a key being a master key and the absence of the dot means it’s a valet one?
This worked perfectly on my 2006 tC I had to do it a couple of times b4 it linked but it worked!!!!!
I have a 2006 tC too. My new programmed key won’t lock and unlock when I press it. Did this happen to you too?
Were you able to start the car start using the new key?
This worked for me today on 12-24-18 (2008 Scion Tc) Thank you!
Great, Merry Christmas!
This is awesome! BTW, I tried to enter the programming mode with the valet key, as our lost key fob had broke in two. But the valet key would not work. As soon as I used the broken key fob, it worked!
Great, I'm glad I could help!
Thank you brother you save me a lot money! Scion Tc 2007
Awesome!
Worked great used ur link for getting the key buttons to work pls make a video for others
Also had trouble
Getting it cut needed to go to dealership certain stores policys wouldnt let them
Cut it
Thank you very much for your great explanation about how to program the key so you helped me to save a few bucks cause i did it myself
Many thanks !! saved $70 at the Toyota Dealer
My pleasure!
Thanks DIY-time! Your programming instructions worked! Plus if you can prove you own the Scion (title or registration) the Toyota dealer will cut the key for free!!!
Good to know! Thanks!
Not everywhere… called two dealers in central FL and they charge about $200 to cut and program the key ☹️
For all of those who followed the instructions but continue to get a blinking light for over 60 sec. Inside the master key there is a small rectangular shaped chip on the left side, that you will have to remove and place into the new key fob set. I used a exacto knife and a small pair of needle nose/wire cutter to remove the chip. Then insert the chip into the new key fob housing in the same place as the master. This chip is necessary for the key to signal to the ignition immobilizer to start the car. I hope this helps. My new key fobs work great.
Sounds like your new key doesn't cone with a chip. Make sure you buy a key with compatible chip and then programming should work and you wont have to reuse your old chip. Cuz if you accidentally damage your old chip with a knife, your car wont start.
@@DIYtimeTRD I just had to follow the steps twice, and the second time it worked. It's possible the first time I tried it the logo wasn't facing up, which some instructions say you need to do, or maybe it was some other step. Anyway, second time it worked.
Worked like a charm! Thank you so much!
Thankyou, you save me money! 👍
Worked like a charm.
Great!
Thanks so much! Worked like a charm!
Awesome!
Thank you so much! Worked on first try!
Great job!

Enjoy!
Thank you so much this work out great for me was able to program key and the program the buttons A+++ for your video

Are you able to turn on the car after you got the key cut? Also were you able to open and close the car using the key?
Got same problem with my Suzuki Swift 2008... I hope you can have a video of programming Suzuki Swift chip key and no tools required
Thank you so much for this, it’s been so long since you post this video and still working, I had just one key(original) and I did another one and followed your video and successfully programmed my key, thanks a lot 🙏, but the only thing that my key don’t do is lock/unlock doors, do you have any more steps for that?
I have them on my DIY-time.com website only. Under Toyota section.
Would the new keyfob lock and unlock the doors or no???
I’m having trouble programming my key, it’s not going into program mode. I do not know why.. have you ran into this problem before?

My master key is not working as keyless entry, i put a new little battery in it. Will it work to reprogram a master key?
This step is only to program the transporter. There is a different code to program the buttons ( lock, unlock and panic buttons) on the fob key. I don't know it but Ace hardware store charged me 15 dollars to program the buttons and it included the cutting as well.
I bought the key at amazon for 20 and 15 for set up. Total investment was 35 dollars compared to 345.76 from quote of dealer. 2007 scion tc 2.4L. You don't have to do nothing to the key Ace will program the transponder and use a diagnostic key tool and do everything for 15 dollars.
Let me know if anyone has any more questions.
Thank you so much.
Do you have the amazon link to buy the key?
Where you cut the key?
Worked for me, had to put new key in b4 the light turns off like 5 seconds
Holy shit it worked! The stealership wanted to charge me $300 to "reprogram my car" so it's compatible with a new key
Can you please post a specific link to the correct key I see a lot of keys there without the dot
Did you find the rigth key...
What is I had a key made with no buttons but I found a key at the junk yard with buttons that has already been programmed to a different car , would it still work? I just want it to unlock and lock the doors with the buttons
Any suggestions regarding the Scion xB 2012? Same key, but there is no light to blink.
Try to enter programming mode using your master key. It wont hurt anything. If it works, buy and program a new key. If not, use the other method I showed on my channel.
My daughter has a 2009 scion tc. Her key was broken off and it will still let the car turn over but not start does she need a new key with the top fob?
Thank you!!
👌🏻
my key works but the buttons don't unlock the car. how do I make the buttons work? this process works until the final step in which it's supposed to stop blinking after 60 seconds. I get a double blink and it never stops. maybe because the key is already functional? I just want to use the button so I don't have to unlock it by hand every time.

Would this method also work if you the rfid chip already programmed but not the buttons?
Hi. All my keys are gone to my 2005 TC. I'd share how but that's for a different channel. I went to your website but did not find how to do it without any keys. Help.
Fisrt of all thank you for this great effort and this amazing video .

Let me know if you have any questions.
Hello! First of all I love your great and descriptive video! Thank you for posting this for everyone to see.
One question. How do I know if this method worked on my tC. I don't have the spec version
Should work on 2005-2010.
After trying 3 times it worked on my 2007 Scion TC. The master key should be in and out 4 times quickly.
That’s great!
I have the a 2005 scion tc with the master key missing but it has the factory spare that still works. It just doesn't open the glove compartment. Could I use the spare instead of the original master to program a new blank chip key instead?
Try to enter the programming mode using the spare key. I'm afraid this is a valet key, and it may not work.
I bought the key using the link you suggested and when I received them they did not have the dot on the key so they will not work
Do all the 2005 Scion tC's come with an alarm?
I love those pedals on the tc. I was wondering where you got them from?
I have a 2004 tc scion and I need a keyless entry key . On your Link I only see 2005 as the earliest year make . Any suggestions for 2004 tc scion ? TIA
In USA we have different classification than the rest of the world.2005 model in USA is the same as 2004 everywhere else.
Can you tell me what Frequency is the 2009 Scion XD key? I can't find it anywhere..
1. Isnit the same as a Toyota Matrix/Venza...
FCC ID: GQ4-29T, GQ429
Frequency: 315 MHz
Or is it like a Rav 4...:
2. FCC ID: HYQ12BBY
IC: 1551A-12BBY
Frequency: 315 MHz
the key that i got with the car was aftermarket didnt have any buttons on it but is programmed for the car, i ordered a new key and it has buttons, the new key successfully programmed but i cant lock or unlock it with the buttons, what is the fix for this?
Thanks bucko 😈
👌🏼
The key was a little big do i have to take it to a locksmith to make the key match the original??
Does the new fob unlock and lock work? 7/14/23
I’m new to cars and I have i Scion tc 2010 and I thought the blinking light means that something was wrong with my ignition lol. But as in the video when I put the key in it goes away
This seems to work for turning the engine on however the remote lock and unlock dont seem to work. Any suggestions?
Follow the link in description. I show how to program buttons on my website.
For my scion i have a key that doesnt have any buttons (the lock and unlock buttons) but its the original key. Can i still program a key with those features?
Yes, you should be fine.
I lost my original tc keys, but i had a replacement made at walmart. the walmart keys only turn on the car sometimes, not always. how can I fix that? when the keys dont want to turn on the car it makes that rumbling starter sound.
Does it make a difference if you flip sides when inserting the key? Probably they sold you poor quality key, and it is working intermittently. Buy another good quality key and program it yourself. Good new blank key will cost you around $20-30.
As long as your key works sometimes, you should be able to make a copy. It may take a few tries, but it should work.
I got it programmed and cut, everything works expect to lock or unlock the car function with transmitter, is this supposed to be like that? Anyone know?
My 2009 Scion XD doesn’t have a security indicator light. How can I program it without this light?
You probably don't have the immobilizer system then.
If so, you can just cut the key - it doesnt have a chip. You can check if your key has a chip at your local hardware store. They have machines that can read chip keys.
I need some help I got the program and the security light does go off when the blank key is inserted but the lock and unlock buttons do not seem to work with new key there is the light that flashes on the new Key so it’s working just can’t get the car to lock and unlock
I have programming instructions for buttons here: www.diy-time.com/automotive/scion/scion-tc/scion-tc-transponder-chip-key-remote-fob-programming/
Thank you for making this great video, it saves us Scion owner money. Before you proceeded the open and close door procedure, did you turn the ignition on? Thanks.
No, you don't need to turn the key. In fact, you can't turn it if it hasn't been cut yet to match the master key.
Just tried it and it worked, you are awesome, man! Thanks a lot!
Thanks!

Hello, can you provide an updated link to which key I should purchase? The link above goes to several different key's and not to a specific one. I don't want to purchase the incorrect one! Thanks in advance!
Just pick what you like and use compatibility checker on top of the page to make sure it fits your car.
Any instructions or video on how to program the key fob? Thanks for the video, liked.

Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀
Enjoy!
My car has a door kit, when it was installed the door sensor was probably cut. My car says my doors are always open, would this prevent me from programming bc of the step with the door
Yes, for sure.
When you do this, is it programming the chip inside the key or the car? I want to make sure that I have a spare key just in case I lose it. Will my old master key still work afterwards? Kind regards for your help!
This process programs the chop inside the key. Your old key will still work.
i have a question, my tc is 2006 and i bought my tc and the key that i have does not have a beeper and doesn’t have the dot. will it work anyway?
It may. Try to enter programming mode with that key to see if it works. Depress brakes to exit programming mode.
What If you orgi al key has the key fob chip but wont start the car? Will this still work with a new key?
I doubt.
Where did you get the pedals? I have a 2007 scion tc Manual
Those are OBX racing pedals. They used to be installed as extra option at Scion dealers. I don't know if you can get those anymore. Scion brand was discontinued. Maybe check if your local Toyota dealer has any laying around.
Will this work if you have a similar key that is already cut from a different car of the same year and model?
It should, as long as the chips are the same.
I have a Compustar fob and it just stopped working, I replaced the batteries and tried programming it but it still isn’t working any tips?
Its probably dead.
can i reprogram an old key? before this video i lost the original and gotten a new one but i found the old one but the old one won't start the car :/
Yes, as long as the chip is still working, you should be able to reprogram it.
I have a 2015 scion FR-S I just bought and the remote doesn’t work do you know how I could get it to work?
You can program it using the same cable and software like I'm using here:
www.diy-time.com/automotive/toyota/smart-key-fob-program-toyota-lexus-scion/
The instructions will be a little different for your car, but it should work.
any luck? I have a frs with just the valet key
You can try this software, it was ability to program keys and remotes: ua-cam.com/video/hXwjCyZ6jFw/v-deo.html
the link you provided doesn’t have the dot on the metal part of the key and i can’t find a link that does.
This mostly applies to factory OEM keys. Some aftermarket keys don't have it. As long as the listing says it is compatible with your car, you should be ok.
How do you set a 2015 Toyota Highlander remote control control
My security indicator light stays on all the time and when I insert my key it starts blinking in a strange pattern. How can I enter programming mode?
Thats not normal. Something might be wrong with your immobilizer system.
This worked on my Scion tC 2006 now to program the fob to lock and unlock is a different procedure will send the link that I used that came with the key
Perfect!
Can I reprogram a different Toyota key for my 2019 4runner
No, not with this method.
Great video, bro!
Will this work on a 2009 Corolla?
Probably not. Your car may no longer have this feature. But you can try entering programming mode anyway.
I have a 2007 Scion TC and it does not have the security Light by the AC what is that mean ? Help please
Your car man not have immobilizer system then.
What could be the reason why the lock and unlock button do not work after programming the new key?
They require a separate programming. You can find on diy-time. com website on Toyota page
I love you
Is there a procedure using only a valet key, the only master key was lost. Thanks for your time.
No, otherwise valets would be doing this to your car secretly and then steal your car later... safety feature.
Would this work for a 2011 scion xb?? Thanks in advance
No, I have another video that works on your car.
can you make a video with out the master key an program the vehicle
You can't. It would dramatically compromise security of a car.
How do you program the new remote so that the lock and unlock button work once the new remote has been programmed?
I haven't made a video about it yet, byput you can find the instructions on my website here: www.diy-time.com/automotive/scion/scion-tc/scion-tc-transponder-chip-key-remote-fob-programming/
Thank you very much! you saved me $150 in programming fees from a dealer or locksmith.
Awesome! Get your girl floweres or something instead! 😁
@@DIYtimeTRD The video and this link worked great for my 2007 Scion Tc. Saved me lots of money ...thanks!
@@DIYtimeTRD Thank you so much for that info, I can finally use my remote buttons!!!
Hi, I have a 2014 Scion TC, does this method work on my car?
No, newer cars no longer have this feature. ☹️
My son purchased a 2005 Scion tc. With it only came one key, and it was the Valet key. He has locked himself out several times and we are in need of a key, without paying the dealership here $200.00 plus $55.00 to program it. Is the link you provide a link for this year car? And if yes, does it have the "chip" in it? Thanks for getting back with me so quickly your help is VERY much appreciated. Blessings
When you click on the key you want to buy, it will let you verify if it's compatible with your car at the top of the page. Read the description of the item, it will say if the key comes with chip or not.
Did you try to enter programming mode? You can try it even without buying a new key. If the light stays solid, than it works.
Does anyone have a link to a video how to do it for a 2012 scion tc
How to program any Toyota, Lexus, or Scion chip key: ua-cam.com/video/UNNq5G_yPoo/v-deo.html
Programming the key worked, but the key won’t lock and unlock the car and I’ve tried to redo the programming and every time that I would do it correctly, I would insert the new key and the light would blink twice, stop for a second, blink twice again, stop for a second and then it would keep doing the same thing the entire time what do you suggest that I do?
There is a separate procedure for buttons. Link in the description.
Do you need to get the key cut to actually turn it on, i programmed the key but i cant turn it in the ignition
Yes, you need to cut it.
@@DIYtimeTRD thank you, i thought so
