Please, the fob you buy on ebay do they come with the mechanical plate already or the new key you are using in this video, did it has the green mechanical plate in it before buying

[@adedoyinz]

please, can you share the link you got your new key from

[@philiprusso5493]

It worked, and I greatly appreciate it. The dealership I spoke to wanted $170 to program my fob. Thank you.

[@moef.5326]

scammers

[@KayKeyTv]

See they doing the same with me & my grandfather is pressing it like NO!!! I’m going to buy the key and do it myself . This takes 2 seconds why is it almost $200 . Someone even said up to$300

[@flyingwithpineapples]

Can confirm this worked like a charm!! Bought a fob off Amazon and programmed it super easy. Saved lots of money!

[@linhjade87]

Did you have to get the dealership to cut the key? I just purchased a replacement from Amazon.

[@flyingwithpineapples]

@@linhjade87 I went to a local locksmith and they cut it with a special machine for a fee. Just look for a locksmith in your local area, preferably not a mobile one haha. Find a place with an actual shop and they should be able to hook you up

[@paulrflach]

Unbelievably easy. Thank you! No telling how much the dealer would have charged? Getting the keys cut was expensive enough!

[@JulioReyes-x2v]

I rarely comment on videos but i have to thank you for this. The dealer in Los Angeles wanted to rip me off for $350 just to program, cost of key and cutting $180. Significant savings to simply buy online and have it cut by locksmith. Thank you

[@elcomandante9299]

Bet they told u it was a three hour job plus programming.

I have a 2013 too...bought both fobs online for $19.99 each and gonna have them cut then program them myself...problem is, I don't have a Master key..only a sub key, so I'm afraid that I may eventually have to go to the dealership to program one then I program the other one myself...smh.

[@ad5ez1]

How much just to cut the key before the DIY? Would like to get some feedback on that!

what if I don't have the original key fob , I've lost it and only have the new fob am I gonna have to pay 166 to program it...

[@alexgauthier7128]

Thanks for posting this. For some reason, when I do this I am able to get the car to start with the new key once, but even while it is running the dash reads “service theft deterrent system”. When I turn the car off, the buttons on the fob do not work and the new car will not start the car again. 2011 Chevy Cruze.

When you say key fob can you still program it without the factory key? I have a key that I use the turn the car on but it isn’t a fob key. It’s a regular key.

So I went to a locksmith instead who literally only charged me $10 to cut. And yes there's a difference between the hardware store and locksmith store Especially price wise

My key fob works except the remote start I say this to say that when I program the new key fob will the remote start work with the new key fob

Weird because ive done this on several Chevy cruze 2012 models more on the 1.4 and 1.8 engines from my home. All I did was grab old that doesnt work remote. insert key hold on ignition for 5 secs to 8 secs then had the new remote with another original key i had. Turn on to ignition held for few seconds then I turned the car on. This works for me every time.

[@Alejandra-cv7rj]

Only thing I can think of is when you opened the remote did you drop the green part it had inside because the key is not connected to nothing electronic so it should not affect the new remote in any way.The other thing I can think of is that the key design wasn't done well and that's why the car doesn't turn on.
