🔧 PRO TIP
The 2005 Scion tC runs a remote head key setup where the transponder chip and the remote are built into the same unit. A lot of people assume the remote and the immobilizer are two separate problems when things go wrong, but they share one key body. The transponder side needs to be registered to the vehicle's immobilizer, and the remote side needs to be synced separately. Both steps happen on site. Also worth knowing: if you're adding a spare while a working key exists, the process is cleaner and faster than starting from scratch with no keys at all. All-keys-lost on a mid-2000s Toyota-platform vehicle is a longer job. Keep that spare.

2005 Scion TC Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy in the Seven Oaks area of Rancho Bernardo had just picked up a used 2005 Scion tC off a private sale. Clean title, decent shape, one key. The seller mentioned getting a spare would be easy. He figured a Scion from 2005 would be cheap parts.

He called the dealer first. They quoted him a number that stopped him cold. He found EZ Car Keyz and asked me if dealer pricing on a key for a twenty-year-old compact was really that steep. I told him it was real for a dealer, but not what he'd pay with me.

I met him at a spot in Seven Oaks. He had his ID and registration ready, which I always check before touching anything. While he sat on a bench with his phone, I cut a replacement key blade to match his vehicle and got to work with my programmer.

The tC uses a remote head key, so the transponder chip and the remote functions live in the same unit. I registered the new key to the immobilizer and then synced the remote. Both steps done, one visit. I ran through all three buttons with him watching, tested the ignition, and had him drive a short loop to confirm the engine stayed running and didn't cut out.

He left with two working keys. The dealer comparison came up again as he was pocketing the spare. I just told him having a second key now means any future job is a simple add-a-key. Without it, that same job gets a lot more involved on this generation of vehicle.

Scion TC Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

How many buttons does the 2005 Scion tC remote head key have?
Three buttons. On the factory fob for this year, you're looking at lock, unlock, and panic. All three get tested during the service visit before I leave. If any button is weak or unresponsive on an existing fob, that's usually the battery. The tC fob runs a CR2016, which is a thin coin cell that's easy to swap if range starts dropping before you need a full replacement.
What exactly is a remote head key and why does programming it take more than just cutting the blade?
Do I need to be there the whole time you're working?
I bought a replacement fob online for my 2005 tC. Can I program it myself?
My 2005 tC starts fine but the remote buttons stopped working. Do I need a whole new key?
