Finally, I got the keys programmed. Some odd reason on last step mine didn't work like stated. Took me 2 hrs instead of 30 min but a win is a win😂 Thks!
Brought a key from Amazon because my original key unlock button was broken on key fob. I followed the steps and put my original cut key in the fob. Works great! Thanks saved me a lot of money from the GMC dealership. Worked perfectly for my 2018 GMC Terrain💯
Dude, you rock. This procedure worked first time on my 2018 Acadia. By the way, while it’s probably advisable to get the 2nd key cut, you don’t have to. I have one FOB (original) with key cut, and new FOB with blank, and both FOBs work now after this procedure. However, I do plan on getting the 2nd key cut, because you never know, if you lose that one FOB, you will be SOL on the next re-program and end up paying big $$$ at dealer. Thanks!
Well, I've got good news and bad news. I finally got it to work. I have a 2023 GMC Acadia SLT (I was led to believe that wasn't very significant). Open your manual. My manual said to put the fricken fob in a special "pocket" in the center counsel and NOT the fricken cup holder. After the third 30-minute cycle of putting the fob in the cup holder I decided to put it where the manual says to put it and just like that, it worked. All of the steps shown in the video are spot on. It was the placement of the fobs that was crucial to success.
This video was great! We had the original fob and bought 2 from Amazon. Everything works including the remote start on all 3 fobs. We only had to follow the process one time for each fob. Thanks a bunch!!
I had one key and wanted to add a second on my 2022 terrain and this video worked perfectly, thank you so much. $28 purchase on Amazon for a replacement key pad and that’s it
Thank you. Worked perfectly for my 2018 Equinox. For some reason the hardest part for me was getting the key lock cylinder cap back seated properly. Lol
Thank you making this visual aid in programming the remote. I read the procedure in my owners manual but seeing it done helps in making sense of the cut key part.
I have only one working key. Can I eventually get the new (second) key "cut," or must I get it cut immediately to even start this procedure? To be sure, I have a 2023 Acadia.
@@PYR-Auto , if you will notice, my original comment actually stated I had a 2023 ACADIA. That was your opportunity to jump in and qualify your tutorial ("this only works on Terrain models"). I still applaud your concise presentation because after it was all said and done, you helped me!
Excellent video. Question: we had a 2022 Acadia that was totaled. We kept one fob from that vehicle. We bought a 2023 Acadia to replace it. Can I program the fob that was previously programmed for the previous Acadia to use on the new Acadia? (I know the backup key will not work. )
No - these fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed to a different vehicle.
If I have an existing key for my 2018 Terrain SLT that was totaled and just bought a 2020 Terrain Denali can the 2018 key be re programmed to work in the newer vehicle?
No - these keys lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed to a different vehicle
Question, if you are just adding 1 fob and you already have a working fob, do you have to reset your 1st fob??? I would feel more confident in doing this if the 1st fob can keep its programming....
Great video, thanks. Is this the same process for the 2024 Terrain SLE? I only have one key fob and want to buy and program a replacement. Thanks in advance.
OK. I bought a replacement online from a supplier and it didn't work. Car would not start since I only programmed one FOB. It kept saying ready for next key. I would have to keep pressing the start button for 12 seconds to get out of key program mode in order to get the car to turn on. I ordered an original FOB from dealer. As soon as I unlocked the car and opened the driver side door, it said ready for next key. Put new FOB in cup holder and pushed start button. Key was programed. Held start button for 12 seconds. Key programing complete. All is,working fine now. Thanks for the video. Great tutorial.
No - these keys lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed to a different vehicle
All the people that I know that unlock them only do wholesale ( large quantities ) so I honestly don't know how cost effect it is to get them unlocked vs. just buying a new one
Yes - if your Sierra has push button start. The only difference is instead of placing the fobs in the cupholder, you need to place them in the transmitter pocket in your center console
Can this be done with compatible used key fobs from the same model but another vehicle? Or can this only be done with brand new key fobs straight from the dealer?
You can program a used key fob but it needs to have been unlocked or "flashed" by someone with the correct equipment. These fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked before they can be programmed again to a different vehicle.
I was told that some times this did not work and there was a back door way to perform this task. Is this true and is it something that can be done without going to a shop? Thank your for your assistance.
I'm not aware of any back door programming procedures. This should work every time if done properly with the correct remote - you can also find this procedure listed in your owners manual.
Missed the window for learning tried to start over not working. Do i leave key in door while i do the programming how long do i have to wait to try again txs
I have both original keys, but something is broken on one of them. Maybe it got smashed? The buttons no longer work… but I assume I can still use the emergency key with the replacement? Great video, btw.
Thank you for this but just to clarify, so if I have 1 working key (original), I have to buy 2 extra keys because the original will be erased and it wont work anymore?
Thank you for the information. Looking at some of the FOBs available on Amazon they say they must be programmed by dealer or locksmith. Do you happen to have a link for a second fob that can be self programmed for a 2018 Chevy Malibu? Currently have just one working FOB and would like a spare. Thanks
As long as it is the correct fob for the vehicle any of them can be programmed as shown in the video. The problem with most of the fobs found online is they are aftermarket and not OEM, the aftermarket fobs tend to have more issues in general then the OEM ones. check out bit.ly/CarAndTruckRemotes They have both aftermarket and OEM ( original ) options
@@PYR-Auto thank you for the reply. Yesterday I did check out the link provided, and when I did the live chat I asked if I could program the fob and the response was that a dealer or locksmith needed to do it. But I will look again and make sure I am looking at the OEM ones. Appreciate the information.
Hey just one question. Is it totally necessary cut the new fog or it can work without cutting it? I have the original key and I just wanna add a new one. Thx
My 2018 Terrain automatically locks whenever I walk away from the car. When it is in programming mode, will it still do that? Is it OK to sit in car while you are waiting. Should both keys be inside car during programming. Or should you leave one out while programming the other?
I believe when the vehicle is in programming mode it will override the auto lock feature. Yes, you can sit in the car if you would like. Opening or closing the drivers door doesn't effect programming sos it doesn't matter if you are in or out. You can have both keys with you - I assume by both you mean one is programmed and one is not
Is this procedure exactly the same for a 2020 Chevy Traverse? (except for placing the fob in the cupholder...presumbably would use the indentation under the console mat)
Nevermind!!! I bought a used 2020 Chevy Traverse and , of course, there was only one key FOB.... I bought an after market FOB off of Ebay and programmed the keys as described in this video (other than a different placement of the key fob--in the console) and it WORKED PERFECTLY!!! Saved me at least a couple of hundred dollars!
Okay sorry for bugging you this much but I bought that Acadia damaged just to give you a better idea and the steering wheel airbag is popped out of it and I'm still putting the front end together I bought the two fobs cut the key put the key in my door cylinder ignition turned it five times counterclockwise and it did not pop up on the dash programming mode could it be that the vehicle still has the airbags popped out which gives it codes and it won't let it program the fobs? or maybe there is another issue
Hello Thank u for all this I was thinking of taking my 2018 Terrain sle to get a key program I only have 1 original and want to program 2 more. So is this mean that I would have reset even the original and add all 3 again?
They can come both ways - it depends on your specific vehicle. If you have any existing remotes you can open it to see the numbers on the inside - The FCC ID is actually the number you want to match
@@PYR-Auto Thank you for the heads up. Is that why when I tried it doesn't register that it is there to program at all? Or is that another separate issue on its own?
I've got a 2020 sierra and tried this process but the 5 counter clockwise turns don't seem to do anything. Nothing comes on the display. Any ideas? I've got one remote programmed and an additional one needing programming. Thanks
Do you have a Cdn market vehicle? I have a Cdn 2021 Sierra. The OM advises "This feature is not available in Canada". Need to have two working remotes to program a third.
Unfortunately the Canadian Terrains require 2 working keys in order to be able to add an additional key yourself. You will need a Automotive Locksmith or Dealership to program the keys for you
@@PYR-Auto thanks-I found your video with a 2015 Yukon. At first it wouldn’t work because I wasn’t pushing the new fob firmly enough into compartment in the center console. Once I did it worked great. Saved me lots of money. Thanks!
2021 Terrain with 5 button the same? Just using the "unlock" to program the additional fob? That will enable all functions on the 5 button like the original? Great video by the way!
Yes, the 5 button will be the same programming procedure. As long as your vehicle originally used a 5 button remote, then the new 5 button remote should function just as the original
My 2018 Terrain had only 1 fob. I bought an OEM fob and went through the process and only the 1st one reprogrammed. I tried numerous times with no luck. I swapped the batteries between the two and still the result. I bought another replacement fob and still no luck so it must not be a fob problem. The dash instructions read the same as those that show up in your demonstration. Any suggestions?
@@larrysmith2697 I don’t remember exactly what I did. But I think I waited for a bit and tried to restart all. I turned key three times to left and got the computer to start working and now both work. I don’t know if it was cuz I waited or if it was by turning key. But mine both work now
I Purchased 3 Smart keys (Truck/1396 433m/435451, Exact Same Model Numbers as my current Fobs) to add to my truck that has 2 keys already. I have Tried Everything from the standard procedure like what you have done in this video as well as through the MDI Programmer and Immobilizer relearn with all key relearn and my original keys are the only ones to program. The Seller said 2 keys was new from GMC, the 3rd was their lost keyfob that the 2 was to replace but he ended up trading the vehicle in leaving him with the 2 that was ordered by vin# from GMC that was never Programmed to their truck and later ended up finding their lost remote. So what I'm getting at, Does these remotes need to be reset to allow reprogramming to a new VIN/BCM? Under the MDI tool, Diag says the Transponder was not visible? Batteries have been replaced and tested. maybe dormant remotes? How would I go about reset or activating?
These fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked with the correct equipment before they can be programmed again. It sounds like those fobs may still be locked.
Do you know if the cover for the manual door lock is broke and can’t be put back in, does the keyless unlock work or not? I had to pop it open but it was frozen over so the clip broke and I’m just wondering how much of a hurry I should be in to replace it
that cap should have no effect on function - its mainly just for looks. You probably will want to replace it eventually though as Im not sure those key cyclinders are designed to be exposed to the weather all the time
I'm not in Canada, but I believe my "new to me" GMC Terrain is from Canada. Are there any ways around the "feature not available in Canada" issue? After I turn the key to the left 5 times nothing happens. I cannot seem to get into "remote learning mode" no matter what I try.
The Canadian vehicles require 2 woking keys in order to be able to add additional keys yourself - otherwise you will need a dealership or automotive locksmith
How does this work if I do not have push start? 2018 sierra, I have only one key with one fob. I have to use key to start ignition, So I’ll have to program remote and key.
You cannot program the key fobs manually on the non push-button start vehicle. You can program the ignition key yourself in many cases though, those instructions can be found here www.programautokeys.com/classified/2018-gmc-sierra-ignition-transponder-chip-key-programming-instructions-listing-9507.aspx#.ZFp3Ry-B2w4
Hey, great video. Just wondering how can I program my key fob if I have only one of it. The vehicle is in canada and is a used vehicle. Any help will be appreciated
@@PYR-Auto I was told that periodically this would not work and there is a back door way to perform this task. Is that true and is it something can be done without going to a shop?
Will this feature work to reset the driver number of the key fobs? I do have 2 working Fobs that came with my 2019 Terrain, but both say you are driver #3... Subsequently neither work with the seating memory features...
Yes - you just need to start with the fobs far enough away from the vehicle so they cannot be detected. The order in which you program the fobs back in will determine the driver #
There is no manual way to program the fobs for the non push button start vehicles. You can program the ignition key though, those instructions are here www.programautokeys.com/classified/2019-gmc-sierra-ignition-fob-smart-chip-key-programming-instructions-listing-9501.aspx#.Y2lz-i-B2w4
2029 GMC Terrain I have one working key I purchased second one on Amazon. I had the key cut at a locksmith. When I start the instructions you gave and the turn the original key to the left it starts beeping and going into the alarm and won’t stop. Why is it doing that? It does say remote learn pending but the beeping and alarm won’t stop unless I hit unlock.
Hi! I just bought a Chevy suburban LT 2015, but It came only with the key 🔑, no fob at all… thing is it has no keyless start button (old school engine start). Any way that I can buy a oem fob and program it? Thanks in advance!!
I bought a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 but it only came with 1 key fob. I found an old key fob we accidentally kept from our previous car, a 2018 GMC Terrain. Can I use the old key fob to the Terrain to program with the sierra 1500?
No, these key fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed to a different vehicle.
I turned the key five times and I saw it pop up on the screen but when I opened the door it disappeared. Is it still programming? Now neither of my keys are working.
i wasn’t able to program a new remote i got so i just reprogrammed the original key fob back to my gmc and it works but now everytime i remote start it it like goes back into programming mode so i keep having to hold the stop/start button for 12 seconds before it can actually turn on. how can i fix this?
Hi! So somehow I have the theft deterrent system service alert on, and my car won’t start unless I hold down the start stop for 12 seconds…. Sometimes when I get in, it says it’s ready for remote 2… any tips on how to fix it?
Thank you for this! Saved me $60 for what a locksmith wanted and after the dealership said you can’t do a 2022 GMC TERRAIN. It worked! Thank you sir

And yeatr was yours..I bought too keys fobs from Amazon already programed with ignition cylinder it came with..but alarms go off and it won't start
Two😅

Well, I've got good news and bad news. I finally got it to work. I have a 2023 GMC Acadia SLT (I was led to believe that wasn't very significant). Open your manual.

a used key fob needs to be "unlocked" by someone with correct equipment before it can be programmed to another vehicle
Hello Thank u for all this I was thinking of taking my 2018 Terrain sle to get a key program I only have 1 original and want to program 2 more. So is this mean that I would have reset even the original and add all 3 again?
Yes exactly
What is the frequency of the GM key fobs? I see both 315hz and 433hz advertised for the Terrain.
They can come both ways - it depends on your specific vehicle. If you have any existing remotes you can open it to see the numbers on the inside - The FCC ID is actually the number you want to match
So if i have zero working key fobs, can I program just one? The one i had got ran over and i have the physical emergency key, just no fob.
No
@@PYR-Auto Thank you for the heads up. Is that why when I tried it doesn't register that it is there to program at all? Or is that another separate issue on its own?

I've got a 2020 sierra and tried this process but the 5 counter clockwise turns don't seem to do anything. Nothing comes on the display. Any ideas? I've got one remote programmed and an additional one needing programming. Thanks
Some vehicle only show that message for a few seconds right when the door is opened - you might try just going off the time rather than the messages.
Do you have a Cdn market vehicle? I have a Cdn 2021 Sierra. The OM advises "This feature is not available in Canada". Need to have two working remotes to program a third.
@@pf123 the truck was from Canada yes. I bought it from a dealer in Minnesota. So basically I need to have a gm dealer program the fob.
How can I program a new fob for a 2018 Terrain from Canada? I only have one original with a cut key.
Unfortunately the Canadian Terrains require 2 working keys in order to be able to add an additional key yourself. You will need a Automotive Locksmith or Dealership to program the keys for you
Will this work on a 2016 Yukon Denali?
yeah a Yukon is very similar to this
@@PYR-Auto thanks-I found your video with a 2015 Yukon. At first it wouldn’t work because I wasn’t pushing the new fob firmly enough into compartment in the center console. Once I did it worked great. Saved me lots of money. Thanks!
What if my GMC has remote start, does that transfer over to the new remote?
Yes
2021 Terrain with 5 button the same? Just using the "unlock" to program the additional fob? That will enable all functions on the 5 button like the original? Great video by the way!
Yes, the 5 button will be the same programming procedure. As long as your vehicle originally used a 5 button remote, then the new 5 button remote should function just as the original
My 2018 Terrain had only 1 fob. I bought an OEM fob and went through the process and only the 1st one reprogrammed. I tried numerous times with no luck.
I swapped the batteries between the two and still the result.
I bought another replacement fob and still no luck so it must not be a fob problem.
The dash instructions read the same as those that show up in your demonstration. Any suggestions?
it sounds like the new fobs themselves may be issue - especially if they are not OEM
Thanks. Both of the new fobs are OEM.
By reprogramming the original key fob will it remove the remote start from it?
No
I tried this. Programmed both remotes but now car won’t start. But remotes unlock and lock
I had the same problem. What is the solution?
@@larrysmith2697 I don’t remember exactly what I did. But I think I waited for a bit and tried to restart all. I turned key three times to left and got the computer to start working and now both work. I don’t know if it was cuz I waited or if it was by turning key. But mine both work now
I Purchased 3 Smart keys (Truck/1396 433m/435451, Exact Same Model Numbers as my current Fobs) to add to my truck that has 2 keys already. I have Tried Everything from the standard procedure like what you have done in this video as well as through the MDI Programmer and Immobilizer relearn with all key relearn and my original keys are the only ones to program. The Seller said 2 keys was new from GMC, the 3rd was their lost keyfob that the 2 was to replace but he ended up trading the vehicle in leaving him with the 2 that was ordered by vin# from GMC that was never Programmed to their truck and later ended up finding their lost remote. So what I'm getting at, Does these remotes need to be reset to allow reprogramming to a new VIN/BCM? Under the MDI tool, Diag says the Transponder was not visible? Batteries have been replaced and tested. maybe dormant remotes? How would I go about reset or activating?
These fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked with the correct equipment before they can be programmed again. It sounds like those fobs may still be locked.
Will this affect a fob with remote start ?
the remote start should work as long as the vehicle has remote start and you get the correct remote fob
Do you know if the cover for the manual door lock is broke and can’t be put back in, does the keyless unlock work or not? I had to pop it open but it was frozen over so the clip broke and I’m just wondering how much of a hurry I should be in to replace it
that cap should have no effect on function - its mainly just for looks. You probably will want to replace it eventually though as Im not sure those key cyclinders are designed to be exposed to the weather all the time
I'm not in Canada, but I believe my "new to me" GMC Terrain is from Canada. Are there any ways around the "feature not available in Canada" issue? After I turn the key to the left 5 times nothing happens. I cannot seem to get into "remote learning mode" no matter what I try.
The Canadian vehicles require 2 woking keys in order to be able to add additional keys yourself - otherwise you will need a dealership or automotive locksmith
hey man i got a gmc 2019 acadia that i bought and it has no key fobs at all is it posibale to program 2 fey fobs with out going to a lock smith
No - not if you do not have a cut emergency
But if I get 2 new fobs and get them cut to the vehicle that can be programmed right
@@dimabetcher yes - as long as they are the correct fobs
What if you car is unlocked, can you just program the blank fob, or do you HAVE to turn the key 5 times?
have to turn key 5 times to get into programming mode
How does this work if I do not have push start? 2018 sierra, I have only one key with one fob. I have to use key to start ignition, So I’ll have to program remote and key.
You cannot program the key fobs manually on the non push-button start vehicle. You can program the ignition key yourself in many cases though, those instructions can be found here www.programautokeys.com/classified/2018-gmc-sierra-ignition-transponder-chip-key-programming-instructions-listing-9507.aspx#.ZFp3Ry-B2w4
Hey, great video. Just wondering how can I program my key fob if I have only one of it. The vehicle is in canada and is a used vehicle.
Any help will be appreciated
Unfortunately there is not way to program it in that situation. You will need an automotive locksmith or dealership
Does this also program auto start for 2020 Terrain
Yes, if your Terrain has the remote start option. The remote fob needs to match your vehicles options.
@@PYR-Auto I was told that periodically this would not work and there is a back door way to perform this task. Is that true and is it something can be done without going to a shop?
Will this same procedure on Acadia
Yes
Will this feature work to reset the driver number of the key fobs? I do have 2 working Fobs that came with my 2019 Terrain, but both say you are driver #3... Subsequently neither work with the seating memory features...
Yes - you just need to start with the fobs far enough away from the vehicle so they cannot be detected. The order in which you program the fobs back in will determine the driver #
will this process work on out 2018 impala ? thanks
If your Impala has a push button start ignition then yes it will basically be the same procedure
Good morning,
I followed directions. However, after the process, fob locks/unlocks doors but does not start truck?
Did you hold down the stop/start button for 12 seconds to exit programming mode?
Thank you for this! I was hoping to get a 3rd key for emergencies and this will make it easy!
You're Welcome!
How do you program a 2019 GMC Sierra that does not have a push start button, using the ignition key instead?
There is no manual way to program the fobs for the non push button start vehicles. You can program the ignition key though, those instructions are here www.programautokeys.com/classified/2019-gmc-sierra-ignition-fob-smart-chip-key-programming-instructions-listing-9501.aspx#.Y2lz-i-B2w4
2029 GMC Terrain I have one working key I purchased second one on Amazon. I had the key cut at a locksmith. When I start the instructions you gave and the turn the original key to the left it starts beeping and going into the alarm and won’t stop. Why is it doing that? It does say remote learn pending but the beeping and alarm won’t stop unless I hit unlock.
Does it do that even if you unlock the vehicle with the working remote before you start the procedure?
@@PYR-Auto Yes
Not sure why its not deactivating when the vehicle is unlocked with the working fob - that's how it is supposed to function
Hi! I just bought a Chevy suburban LT 2015, but It came only with the key 🔑, no fob at all… thing is it has no keyless start button (old school engine start). Any way that I can buy a oem fob and program it?
Thanks in advance!!
Unfortunately there is no manual way to program fobs for the non push-button vehicles. You will need an automotive locksmith or dealership.
I bought a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 but it only came with 1 key fob. I found an old key fob we accidentally kept from our previous car, a 2018 GMC Terrain. Can I use the old key fob to the Terrain to program with the sierra 1500?
No, these key fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and need to be unlocked by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed to a different vehicle.
Do i need to cut the key on the second remote? I have only one remote with key
You can just use the key out of your original remote
How to put door handle together?
I turned the key five times and I saw it pop up on the screen but when I opened the door it disappeared. Is it still programming? Now neither of my keys are working.
Yes - the vehicles usually only show the message for a few seconds, keep going with the procedure
i wasn’t able to program a new remote i got so i just reprogrammed the original key fob back to my gmc and it works but now everytime i remote start it it like goes back into programming mode so i keep having to hold the stop/start button for 12 seconds before it can actually turn on. how can i fix this?
if it makes any difference i do have a 2019 gmc terrain
You will need to program a second remote to fully exit programming mode
Nothing happens when I turn the key counter clockwise 5 times
Are you from Canada ? I think it doesn’t work in Canada.
Hi! So somehow I have the theft deterrent system service alert on, and my car won’t start unless I hold down the start stop for 12 seconds…. Sometimes when I get in, it says it’s ready for remote 2… any tips on how to fix it?
it sounds like you did not program in at least two keys as is explained in the beginning of the video. Programming a second key should fix that issue
@@PYR-Auto so how do I do that now since the theft deterrent mode is on ? Thanks in advance
Do you recommend an automotive locksmith or the dealership more? I’m mostly concerned with the price
Automotive locksmiths will usually be cheaper b
Will this work on a 2023?
yes
I used the procedure and everything works except starting the car remotely (outside the car). What do I do now?
Does the car have the remote start option, does it work on your original remote?
I have the same issue. Remote start doesn’t work on original or new fob. But programming them was a breeze with your video.
