Thought I'd spend my 10-minute cycles providing some notes/observations/protips here. My scenario: Just got into a used 2021 Traverse that came with two key fobs, only one of which worked. Miserable dealership experience and, regretfully, I'll be avoiding going back there like April 2020 COVID. Observations/pro-tips re: this wacky process: 1. Too many commenters here are asking about the programming of a second fob. It was a missed opportunity for this valuable video to not address this second-fob audience in the intro, when our guy says the video is for those who have lost both keys. It would also would have been worth emphasizing that you can't just "add" a key via this process--you're gonna be reprogramming your working key in order to get both to work. A demonstration of a second key getting programmed directly after the first might have also been helpful here. All this said, this vid is awsome and THIS WORKS! Big props to anyone who nails it in one go. 2. About 5 seconds after each "Remote learning pending, please wait" messaging, the display goes dark. Nothing will display even when you close/open doors. Not until that exact 10:00 mark. 3. During your 10-minute waits, take the opportunity to imagine what might be going on over at the GM mothership in Motor City, USA. For example, I imagined lab mice running feverishly on their wheels to power the going ons in an adjacent control room, from which several men and women with headsets and matching uniforms pressed blinking buttons and turned knobs as fast as their hands could go, their eyes darting intensely from monitor to monitor, bloodshot from blinking only at 10-minute intervals. These men, women, and mice were doing God's work, I imagined, with one common destiny: MUST. LEARN. NEW. REMOTE. FOR TRAVERSE. 4. I noticed that during this process, my other original remote was already bricked early on, well before my new key was programmed. 5. In my first effort, the unprogrammed key got programmed, but my new Key #2 (formerly my working key), did not end up getting programmed. I believe that I neglected to press the Unlock/Lock before exiting the learning mode. This mistake is costly as it caused me to have to start from scratch. Don't screw it up. No pressure. 6. In my 3rd attempt, I succeeded to program both transmitters... but not without the car alarm sounding between them. Fortunately, the final step only takes ~15 seconds and you should be able to turn off alarm with newly-programmed fob as you exit programming mode, before the spouse or neighbors get too upset. 7. Our remote start button still doesn't work on either fob but I think it's because the car doesn't support it. Likewise, the comments here re: different fobs linking to seat memory seem relevant only to those whose doors have the 1/2/3 buttons, which our car does not.

I paid someone 60 bucks to program a remote I got off of Amazon and only half of it worked. I told them and they said it was because the remote came from Amazon so I tried the instructions on this vid and it worked. I did have to do it a second time because I didn't read the info on the second fob but all is good. Thank you for sharing this info

If both remotes are lost how do i get the new emergency key cut since there is no existing key to copy it from?... thanks for posting these videos, the service departments must hate you lol
@PYR-Auto3 жыл бұрын
You will have to get it cut by code. Dealerships and some Automotive Locksmiths have access to the codes. So the service department may still get you for a little bit of money to get the key cut lol but they charge additionally for programming

That procedure is similar to this one, but it is actually much faster. You can find the instructions for it here www.programyourremote.com/classified/2020-chevrolet-traverse-keyless-entry-remote-fob-smart-key-programming-instructions-listing-9854.aspx

Can this be done on one the dealer already programmed to make it driver 1 instead of the (nonexistent) driver 3? We were sold driver 2 fob but when they programmed the new secondary fob, it was programmed to driver 3 instead of 1.

Yes - this will erase all fobs from the vehicle and start from driver 1

will this work if you have a used keyfob
@PYR-Auto3 жыл бұрын
yes but these key fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked or "flashed" by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed again.

The remote needs to match your vehicles options. Your vehicle needs to have the remote start option for the the remote start key fob to work.

You can use this procedure you just need to reprogram your existing key 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 one is programmed

Your instructions were haphazard at most. I had to do a lot of trial and error to finally get it to work. Including unhooking the battery to reset the system. Be warned his instructions are not very good
