Worked like a charm! I bought a used 2017 Chevy Cruze LT with just one working fob and cut key. Bought another one (uncut) via Amazon and programmed both of them using your instructions and it worked seamlessly! Thanks for your help !!!

This procedure worked perfectly! I had one operational smart key and bought a genuine gm from ebay, did this procedure, making sure the blank smart key got programmed first, and both work fine...

Program Your Remote when u don’t wanna pay for a tow or pay the dealership you’ll try everything else first.

[@stephaniedykes3028]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! 2014 Chevy Cruze LT with push-to-start and a flip key fob. My only key randomly reprogrammed itself (still not sure how I accidentally made that happen) and the Chevy dealership was no help on the phone - they told me I'd have to tow it to them. My key fob had a live battery, was able to lock and unlock doors from a close distance, but was not turning the car on. Took about 40min of fumbling around but this video helped me fix it on my own and get un-stranded.

I have a 2017 Chevy Cruze RS with pushbutton start. Recently the key fobs randomly don't work. I have replaced both batteries in the 2 fobs and still have the problem randomly. I read on line that they might need reprogrammed. So will doing your instructions reprogram my fobs?

[@PYR-Auto]

This will re-program the fobs but I think you may have other issues as the fobs should not act that way and they do not typically un-program

[@ChevroletHonda]

Do I have to program two keys? I just did one key and I have a “service theft deterrent system” message when I start the car. Everything works besides the message. The car runs and drives fine but the theft light stays on

I still have my original fob but would like to have a back up. Is there any way you can have two fobs programmed for one car?

Yes, you will just need to re-program your orignial fob during the procedure as it will be erased. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you need to repeat steps 4 - 6 for your original remote after the new remote is programmed.

[@katelynsalazar2491]

From what I understand, you don't need to cut the key for the fob to be programmed.

[@PYR-Auto]

correct!

[@PYR-Auto]

No, you can just use the emergency key from your original key fob. FYI - You will need to re-program your original remote during the procedure. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - repeat steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one.

[@TracyGossett]

[@craiggiesler2092]

Tonight both original key fobs on my wife’s 2018 Cruze stopped working(tried new batteries and everything).I Can use the Chevy app to open the car and can start it with key fob in front cupholder. If I follow these instructions can you place both original fobs in the cupholder so it does both at the same time? Or can you only reprogram one at a time? My manual says it doesn’t apply for Canada. Is there any harm in trying?

[@PYR-Auto]

You can only program one at a time. If you look at the steps in the description box for the video, you repeat steps 4-6 for each remote, after the first remote is programmed. However, the manual is correct that these are only for US market vehicles. I'm honestly not sure if there is any harm in trying, I think that you probably wont even be able to get the vehicle into programming mode.

[@hiskyguy]

I have two fobs that are both programmed. I just want to reset them to test something. Will this work if it’s programmed already and I’m just resetting it?

[@PYR-Auto]

Yes - this procedure will erase all fobs that are currently programmed so you will have to re-program them both. You will need to start the procedure with both fobs far enough away from the vehicle so they cannot be read. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for the second remote after the first one is programmed.

[@Luqrez]

Will it work with uncut keys

[@PYR-Auto]

No - you need at least 1 cut emergency key

[@champagnebesos5614]

Hi, I lost my spare key but still have one remaining key. Once I get the new key I ordered, I still need to cut my key and re-program both keys?

[@PYR-Auto]

you don't technically have to get the new emergency key cut - you just need at least one to do the procedure. You will need to reprogram your current key fob during the procedure as it will be erased. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your original key fob after the new is programmed.

[@lamargibson8873]

How is this supposed to work Chevy Cruze if that is A Cadillac that your working on?

this procedure works on many different GM models

[@B.lu_ee]

Between steps one and two when I’m waiting the first 10 mins should I be in the car with the remote or stand out and wait

It doesn't matter, you don't need stay in the vehicle if you don't want to. I got out of the car each time to wait in the video.

[@djchillwill9493]

[@TonyMontanaXx]

Can I still do this if I’m trying to add another key? I have 1 fob and I bought a unprogramed on online and need to program it.

yes - you just need to reprogram your original as it will be erased during the procedure. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one is programmed.

[@Pumpkin_Fart]

I have a 2015 Cruze with no keyed ignition (button start only). Why do all instruction say to insert key in ignition? Your website says the same. Thanks!

[@PYR-Auto]

All the information we have, and I'm guessing everywhere else you have seen, shows the push button start wasn't available on the Cruze until 2016

[@Pumpkin_Fart]

Read the manual. It lists all the ways to program a Fob whether you have one or not. There is a hidden key slot under your small change holder.

[@WhitneyRhodes-tn9mh]

Can you verify if this method works for a 2018 Chevy Cruze built in Canada? I'm having trouble getting into remote learning.

this does not work on Canadian built vehicles

[@harborkeysupply]

I have a key used with the same frequency for a 2016 cruze, can the key be added to another cruze that already has a key?

The key will need to be "unlocked" by someone with the correct equipment before it can be programmed to a different vehicle.

So my original and only key fob had the circuit board fall out and drop on the ground when I was replacing the battery and now the key fob is damaged and doesn't work. The metal key still works in the door lock so my question is, if this procedure can work for me if I use the original working metal key with the new key fob that I want to program?

[@PYR-Auto]

Yes, you can just use your old metal key in your new remote and for the procedure.

[@cortneyainsworth641]

@PYR Automotive is correct...this happened to me as well, just one fob.

It can be used but it needs to have been flashed/unlocked. These fobs lock to the vehicle after programming and need to be flashed before they can be used again.

[@Arturogc7]

Can I flash the fob or do I have to take it somewhere or is better to buy a new fob key? This is my situation: My only key fob is broken and the only thing that is not broken is the key in the fob, can I buy a new fob from ebay and this video you have should work with my situation? Or I need someone professional to program everything?

[@Arturogc7]

??

[@PYR-Auto]

You will not be able to flash the fob yourself without the proper hardware and software. You can by a used fob but you need to make sure it specifically says "flashed" "unlocked" or "guaranteed programmable" or something along those lines. Yes, you can use the key out of your old fob in order to program a new one.
