Scion Key Replacement Round Rock Texas

Scion Models We Service

We support the full Scion lineup — from early compacts to the sporty FR-S and the later i-series models that continued as Toyota trims:

• Scion xB
• Scion xA
• Scion xD
• Scion tC
• Scion iQ
• Scion FR-S (Toyota 86)
• Scion iA (Yaris iA)
• Scion iM (Corolla iM)

If it wears a Scion badge, we can cut and program the correct key or fob for it — even when every key is missing.

Types of Scion Keys & Fobs

Depending on model and year, Scion vehicles use one or more of the following systems. We replace and program all of them on-site:

• Standard metal keys: Non-chip mechanical keys used on some earlier model years and trims.
• Transponder keys: Embedded chip must be recognized by the immobilizer before the engine will start.
• Flip / remote-head keys: Folding blade with lock/unlock, trunk/hatch, and panic buttons.
• Smart proximity fobs (push-to-start on select trims): Hands-free entry and start; vehicle authorizes the fob via proximity antennas before enabling ignition.
• Keyless remotes: Separate remote modules paired for lock/unlock and panic on non-push-start trims.

You can choose OEM or premium aftermarket options. We will explain differences in durability, warranty, and feel so you can decide confidently.

How Our Mobile Service Works

1. Quick intake & firm quote: Tell us the Scion model, year, ZIP, and what happened (lost all keys, broken fob, “key not detected”). We confirm the correct key type and total before dispatch.
2. We come to you: Home driveway, office garage, shopping lot, or roadside anywhere in Round Rock and nearby towns.
3. Cut by code or decode: We mill a factory-accurate blade using key code or by decoding the lock/ignition.
4. Program & pair: We pair the transponder or smart fob to the immobilizer/BCM and verify remote functions.
5. Security cleanup: On request, we remove missing/stolen keys from memory when supported.
6. Final testing: Lock/unlock, hatch, panic, and reliable start or push-button engagement — verified before we leave.

No towing, no dealership delays — just a complete solution curbside with a printed or digital receipt and warranty.

Lost All Keys vs. Duplicate Spare

All keys lost: We originate a working key or fob from scratch after ownership verification. Extra immobilizer steps may be required on push-to-start models such as certain FR-S/iM/iA trims.

Duplicate spare: Much cheaper and faster because we can copy/clone or freshly program with fewer security steps. It also protects older ignitions from wear by giving you a crisp backup.

Owner tip: Replace fob coin-cell batteries every 1–3 years and store a labeled spare at home to avoid emergencies.

You receive a firm, written quote before work begins. Every key or fob includes a warranty on electronics, cutting accuracy, and programming.

Common Scion Key & Start Issues

• “Key not detected” on push-to-start trims — often a weak coin-cell battery or proximity antenna issue. Try holding the fob near the start button; if it starts, replace the fob battery and re-test.
• Remote works but engine won’t start: Remote buttons and transponder approval are separate; programming restores immobilizer authorization.
• Flip key hinge cracked: We transfer electronics to a new shell and cut a fresh blade.
• Key stuck or rough turn: Worn cylinder wafers/springs; we repair or replace and match to your key cut when possible.
• After battery jump, fob stopped working: Some models need a quick re-sync following power events; we re-initialize modules and verify range.
• Short remote range: Weak fob battery, board damage, or receiver/antenna faults.
• Lost keys with identifying info: We recommend clearing old keys from memory when supported to reduce risk.

Not sure if the problem is the fob, blade, immobilizer, or a vehicle module? We diagnose first and fix only what’s required.

Scion Immobilizer & Smart Key Security

Scion platforms rely on encrypted authorization between the key/fob and immobilizer/BCM before enabling the starter. Our procedures keep that protection intact while restoring convenience:

• Pair new chips and proximity fobs with the correct model-specific procedure
• Optionally remove missing keys from memory when supported
• Verify security indicator behavior and proximity coverage at doors/console
• Confirm lock/unlock, hatch, alarm, and push-start operation

If you suspect theft or tampering, tell us during intake so we can prioritize memory clearing and additional checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a new Scion key if I lost the last one?

Yes. We cut by code or decode a lock to mill an accurate blade, then program a transponder or pair a smart fob so your Scion recognizes it. Ownership verification is required.

Do you support push-to-start proximity fobs for iM, iA, or FR-S?

Absolutely. We pair proximity fobs, test hands-free entry, confirm push-button start, and verify any remote features your trim supports.

Is a duplicate cheaper than replacing all keys?

Yes — duplicates are faster and significantly less expensive because immobilizer steps are shorter. Keeping a labeled spare at home prevents emergencies.

Can you repair or replace my ignition cylinder?

Yes. We extract broken keys, rebuild or replace the cylinder, and match it to your existing key pattern where possible.

Do you offer OEM or aftermarket keys and fobs?

Both. We explain differences in cost, warranty, and button feel so you can choose what’s best for your budget and expectations.
