TextScion iA Key Technology
2016 Only (A26)
Here's where security got serious. The 2016 iA carries a 4-button smart key (FCC: WAZSKE13D01), push-button start, and a high-security laser-cut emergency blade tucked inside the fob. The immobilizer runs Toyota's smart proximity system with server-side authentication, so programming requires professional diagnostic equipment plus a PIN pulled live from Toyota's TIS server. No shortcuts here, but Marco handles the whole job curbside with the right tools.
Which iA Smart Key Do You Have?
Slim proximity fob that lives in your pocket. The iA detects it as you walk up, unlocks the doors automatically, and the push-button start fires the engine. Inside the housing is a hidden laser-cut emergency blade for the times the CR2025 dies on you.

EZ Car Keyz vs Mossy and Toyota of El Cajon
Mossy Toyota in Pacific Beach wants the iA towed in, three business days, and a $600 ticket for one WAZSKE13D01 fob cut and paired. Marco does it curbside in Encinitas or Mira Mesa at half the cost, with the same Toyota TIS server PIN and the same OBD pairing, no tow. He's also one of the few in 619 who actually carries the Mazda-spec blank for this one-year-only car.

Smart Key Battery Dies and Fob Won't Wake
Most common iA call Marco runs in San Diego. The fob takes a CR2025 (not CR2032); most owners drop the wrong cell first and assume the fob is dead. Right cell still dead? Antenna or coil. Marco cuts and pairs WAZSKE13D01 onsite via Toyota TIS PIN.
All Keys Lost Requires TIS Server
Both keys lost? Programming a fresh WAZSKE13D01 from scratch needs a PIN pulled live from Toyota's TIS server. That's where every chain locksmith in San Diego gets stuck and quotes a tow. Marco has TIS access and runs the all-keys-lost procedure curbside.
Emergency Key Blade Wear - San Diego
After a jump, dead 12V, or alternator work, the iA's smart key loses handshake with the body control module and push-button stops seeing the fob. Marco runs a Toyota relearn via Autel in San Diego, resyncs the fob to the immobilizer, verifies.
Can You Self-Program an iA Key in San Diego?
No. The 2016 iA requires a PIN pulled from Toyota's TIS server plus OBD programming with a tool like the Autel IM608. There is no key-dance procedure, no DIY workaround. Call Marco at (619) 876-1271 and he handles the whole job curbside, TIS access and all.

Did You Know?
The 2016 iA wore a Scion badge for exactly one year. Then Toyota killed the Scion brand and the same car kept selling as the Toyota Yaris iA, then as the Yaris sedan. Underneath the Mazda-built body sits Mazda2 hardware, but the key system runs Toyota TIS server authentication, not Mazda's. Marco pulls the TIS PIN onsite in San Diego and pairs the fob through OBD with the Autel. A genuine one-year-only Scion that's actually a Mazda wearing a Toyota immobilizer.
