2012 Scion XD Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Scion uses Toyota's immobilizer system. Your 2012 Scion XD has a transponder chip in the key head that communicates with the car's immobilizer every time you turn the ignition. Early Scions use 4C or 4D chips. Later models moved to G-chip and H-chip with stronger encryption. The immobilizer sends a challenge, the chip responds with a calculated code, and the engine fires only if they match. That's why a blank key from a hardware store will turn the lock but will never start the engine.
A customer at Target in Ramona thought only the dealer could program that chip. She'd been quoted $395 for a spare on her 2012 Scion XD and assumed the "computer chip" made it dealer-only. Her coworker had used me before and passed along my number.
I brought my Smart Pro to her car and connected through OBD. Her XD uses a remote head, FCC ID MOZB41TG, with 3 buttons. The "chip programming" the dealer charges a premium for is a security sequence my tool runs identically.
Her spare was cut, programmed, and tested in about 20 minutes. Total was around $185. The immobilizer technology is real, but the dealer markup on that technology isn't justified when a mobile locksmith carries the same programming tools.

Customers who skipped the dealer markup
“I needed a car key replacement in Hillcrest and EZ Car Keyz helped me immediately. The technician programmed a new smart key right next to my car and tested every function before leaving. Fast, friendly, and very professional.”
“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
