"Advanced Insights: Key FOB Programming Techniques

This video will address aspects of Key FOB programming not readily available on KZbin, including the identification of the transmitter pocket or insert. Additionally, it will emphasize the necessity of engaging the brake paddle prior to touching the stop/start push button.

I thank you so much for sharing this video. I was about to spend $145.00 to have the dealer do this for me and being on a fixed income with the cost of living so high, this video you have shared with us is a real blessing for me. I thank you very much for your awesome video.

Any suggestions for adding a second fob after one is already working properly? I want to add a second for backup. Thanks!

[@v8pwrd]

Thank you! Worked like a charm. In my case I did not have to press the brake pedal at all. It took about 10 minutes per key. Did 3 keys.

When do you take the key out of the door? Does the key need to go back in the transmitter to program? That’s never mentioned

[@butchpeyton2469]

Great video, but what factory key are you referencing? I just lost one of my fobs and using my backup now. Are you talking about the key in the fob?

[@eljefe62]

Yes, the key in the fob.

[@ooc1977]

I want to thank you, because I have a 2020 chevy silverado ltz. And I did not know where the transmitter was the other videos had a pocket. I got go and try this, will give you an updates once I do it. Where did you get you spare fob at to do the program

[@the-fix-it-yourself-channel]

I'm super glad I could help, let me know how it works out

I have a 6.6 duramax 2022 I just bought from Copart and it doesn’t come with key fobs, will this work on it if I try it ?

[@ronwesolowski5754]

Will I need to re program my existing key fob in addition to the replacement one I purchased? Or will the original still work. ( I lost one of the two fob that were supplied by the dealer).

[@1blktalon]

On another user video he reprogrammed his new one and his original. At the end of the video he made it sound like there is another procedure to program only one.

[@davidschepers8764]

I have my old factory key. Will it work with the new fob ?

[@brunodog7140]

So I have one of my fob keys from my last 2023 Silverado Rst that was totally crashed 7 days after I got it from the dealer, now I got another exact same car and I am wondering if I could add my old key from my previous car as the 3rd key of my new one. Is this possible to do it, using this process? Thank you in advance.

[@BingoMactavanish]

This did not work for me- same make and model. For those that are having similar issues. I found a video- turn key left five times. Hit on/off, wait ten min, repeat, and repeat once more, drop in your new FOB, hit on/off, when done hold on/off for 12 seconds. Process takes 30+ min.

[@B-Rad-Gee]

Hi Clarence, is this the process to program just one key or two? I have one originally programmed key and want to buy an extra one

[@x1nDunnx]

Any reply to this? Same situation for me.

Hi Clarence. My dealer won’t work on a key fob I don’t purchase from them. Can I have the key cut by others ?

[@the-fix-it-yourself-channel]

I'm not sure, but if you have one original Walmart can copy it.

[@J_production18]

Does the new FOB key have to be cut before it can be programmed?

[@P0M0N8]

@@J_production18 where you able to program even with the key uncut?

I'm not sure, might want to research first

Not sure I understand why are you programming the key for that came with your vehicle, unless it’s a brand new one.

I have a 2020 RST and my console doesn’t look like yours

[@kinpin66]

I tried it twice and did not program... Any suggestions?

[@kdelbox]

Were you still able to start your vehicle with one key afterwards? Wanting to try adding a spare but I’m afraid it will erase the one I have, then not work.

It baffles me keys cost $500!!!!! To have done! It should literally be against the law to have something that is required to use your vehicle cost so much.
