It works for my 2012 Mitsubishi Galant and 2008 ford explorer I wish there were more people like you willing to help others this world would be a better place
Worked like a charm! By the time the AAA guy showed up, I had about 4 minutes left. I told what I was trying to do and he told me to go to dealer to have them program it. We waited until last 10 minutes were up. I turned it over and it started right up. The AAA tech was amazed and impressed!
I watched your video about programming new keys that are cut. At first I was believing that the dealership was my only option and source of getting new keys made for my 2013 chevy tahoe. I was completely wrong. I tried what you showed in this video thinking that it wouldn't work. IT REALLY DOES WORK!!! It saved me over 250 bucks by doing it myself. THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!
Thank you so much sir! We were gonna have to have vehicle towed and my husband said wait..lemme see.if I can find something on TH-cam 1st!! Praise the Lord it worked!!
This worked for me 100%. My Key broke. I went to a lock smith here in Houston that charged $75 to fix the key since I had the broken part. He fixed the key and then gave me instructions on how to program it with an additional key he gave me. That didn’t work. I went to TH-cam and came across this video. Instead of 3 consecutive 10 minute tries it took me 4, 10 minute tries and it worked. Thank you that it did. It would’ve cost me over $100 for me to call the locksmith to come to me to program the key himself. I’m ecstatic. Oh and my car is a 2009 Chevy impala that I’ve had for 12 yrs.
Just did it!!! Literally took 30 mins!!! The Chevy dealer here in NY wanted $200 for the keys and $90 to program!!! I spent all $30 for two keys and fobs!!!
Broke my key in half this morning. I could not find my spare key 😣 Went to dealership and spent $90 on replaceable key. I was told they had to program it for additional $89 but needed my truck towed there or $50 and some guy does house calls to program it. I decided to check TH-cam just in case and came across your video. South Texas is hottttt so I was praying it would work as I would go in and out to my truck. On last cycle I was hoping I did everything correct and 💥 YESSSS my 2008 Chevy Tahoe now has a programmed key!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!! ❤️
This comment is for Ken Williams, I program my 2006 Cadillac with your instructions and it work perfectly! One minute, and my keys were cut for free, thank you! Chocolate girl
THANK YOU. This video saved me about $285.00. I broke my only key which destroyed the chip. I was set to tow my truck to the dealer and pay them to do whay you just did. I'm glad I googled and found your channel. You rock buddy.
Green smoke. If you have the original ignition the dealer can cut a key using your vin number for about $30 just tell them your going to program it yourself.
Son of a gun!!! I couldn’t turn off my alarm from my Chevy because the key somehow It became unprogrammed. I removed the anti theft fuse to stop the horn and noise. Then I used this technique here and it solved my problem. Thank you very much for sharing the secret!!!! Keep it up!!!!
OMG!!!! This totally worked just now for my 2009 Chevy impala. I had to buy a 38 dollar programmable key. You saved my family so much headache and money. Thank thank you thank you. I owe you one. Godsend!
Thank you! The GM dealer was going to charge me $157 to program my Cadillac Escalade ESV key. I used your video and did the programming myself in 30 minutes. Happy New Year. God bless your!
Did this on my 2019 Chevy Spark LS. Worked like a charm!! Thank you for sharing this video!! Saved $60 plus tax that the dealership wanted to program it.
Hey mate got a 2011 Chevy Cruze 1.4l petrol PD model After the three ten minutes cycles leaving around ten seconds inbetween. After the third the flashing locked car light doesn’t go off? Any suggestions? On my car it doesn’t show “anti theft” like it does in yours. Cheers mate
This worked on my 2010 camaro. I lost all my keys for it, bought a blank on Amazon, got dealer to cut it and I programmed it myself using this video. I did have to do it twice. Thanks a lot! Saved me a lot of money.
This video is a life saver!!! I lost my key shoveling my moms snow. Went to Chevrolet to get a key cut and on top of that they wanted to charge me $160 to program it plus I had to get it towed there. Found a off brand person to program it that would come to me car and they wanted to charge me $120. This video save me a lot of money
Thanks, Mike. I was able to purchase 2 blanks online for around $10.98, and Home Depot will cut them for free. Also got 2 new remotes (used car, only came with one which I lost) for $12.59, and there is a video on programming them as well. So dealer cost between $700-$800, all I paid was $23.57!
@ Chris Andersen. Thanks to you posting this comment I was able to get my new transponder keys programmed for FREE at a local Home Depot! Thank you for sharing good info!
dealer told me to tow my 2007 Yukon Denali to have the key programmed, locksmith was going to charge $120 dlls to program it at my place. key cost me 49 dlls at the dealership. Thanks to this video I was able to save me that time and money . Thank you for uploading this video it's great
+juan ruiz The dealership should have told you how to do it yourself. My parts department at my dealership does, they even hand out typed out instructions.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! The dealer was giving me the business but after watching this I went back and bought a key followed instructions and works perfect. Thank you for the video.
It works! I just programmed my key transponder for my 2008 Chevy Impala LS. I ordered two from Ebay for $9.95. I took it to Lowe's and had them cut it. The worker cut it for free, saying that they don't have a price for car keys. Just make sure your battery is good or fully charged before doing the process. My battery was low and it died. After I jumped it, I turned the car over with the new programmed key. It turned right over! No problems. Do exactly as instructed in the video. I noticed that after 10 minutes the anti theft lock and key symbol light would turn off. That indicates that a cycle has been completed. And this works with multiple keys. I know this because my original key still works after I programmed the new one. Thank you EliteAutoOutlet10 very much.
Wow... I have a 2013 impala, just programmed 2 keys, waited 30 seconds in between(I’m inpatient), not the full 10 mins and they both worked!!! Thanks bro....
Sound great! So did this 3 times in the process, but just waited until security light went out not 10 mins, and proceed with next step right? I guess the key is waiting for security light to go out and proceed to next step instead of exact 10 mins wait.
Thank you so much for this video, I just programed my 2013 Chevy Silverado. It was repo and they had made a new ignition key before I got it back. I had been driving around for about 6 months with two different keys, one for the ignition and the other for the doors. Thanks again now I only have one key. And on my vehicle I did have to do the entire 30 minutes
Thank you just tried what you said on 07 Chevy I waited 10min or until lock light went of turn off key waited 5 to 10 seconds turned key on did this process 3 times worked to perfection. Thank you saved 300$
I know it’s an old video, but still wanted to say thanks! I was 2200 miles from home for 2+ years, and when I got home, the key had walked away. Had to get the key from the dealer, and was about to load the car onto a trailer to take it to the dealer and pay $100+ for programming, when I came across this video. Saved me a BUNCH of time and hassle and MONEY!
So glad I came across this channel. I have a 2013 implala ltz and like everyone I needed to take my car to the dealership. The estimated bill was out of control. I found this video and had to take my chances so i order the keys from Amazon four days later it arrived. I took my keys to AutoZone to make copies and I was told I using going to be changed for the copies. I put one key in the ignition and followed the step on the video. I also had my spare and other new key close to it. After all three 10min cycle the car turned on. It was time to do the next and once I put it in it must of been programmed while the first one was being programmed. I tested all three and it worked. It's channel this this that make TH-cam what it is today. Why keep what you know when you can help others. Thank you sir.
I just had a locksmith come to my house looked to see I had a different steering column told me he could reprogram my new ignition to work for a mind blowing wallet draining 220$ his wife sat in the car as he kindly ask for the 45$ service fee, unfortunately I had to respond I only had this amount of money to do this I couldn't pay it no disrespect butt. I will gladly buy you and your wife a drink gave him little cash 10$ he told me look this up on line I found this site then ask a question and I answer butt continued to read found your process and amen if I can help a person with my little bit of knowledge I am grateful to have it and I won't be hateful and keep it greed is destroying society thanks brother above
i have a chevrolet avalanche 2013 and key was stolen and cant afford the tow and etc to the dealership so i'm excited and can't wait to try this tomorrow, thank the good Lord above for you and this video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO. ME AND MY Wife were going Crazy on how to Reprogram the key we bought. GOD BLESS for posting this video. You saved us alot of money
Thanks saved me hundreds! Locksmith wanted to charge $250 and the dealership wanted $80 plus a tow because original is broke, did this method and it worked on my 2012 Malibu! Total cost $44 bucks for new key made at Ace Hardware! 👍
Thank you for this video.. I lost my key. I called a random mobile locksmith, he came out to my car and waisted my time he made my car spark and was not successful at making the chip key for the car. Then I called another guy had to pay $50 bucks b/c he came out to the car. My friend found my lost key so I picked it up.. it no longer worked in my car.. the first locksmith lock the computer. So your video helped me reprogram my key🙏🏼thank you.. also another thing my car did not start once the key was reprogrammed so I need to disconnect the batter to reset the cars computer. Once I did that and reconnected the battery completely the car started right up. Thank you so much!
This video is when you don't have an existing programmed key. Following the below if you need to program a copy key and already have an existing programmed key: 1. Insert an existing programmed working key into the ignition cylinder. 2. Turn ignition to the ON position for 5 seconds, then back to OFF position. 3. Remove the existing key and within 5 seconds insert new key and turn it to the ON position for 5 seconds. 4. Turn key OFF then back to ON. The key is now programmed. Start vehicle to test key. Worked on my 2011 enclave. Thanks Stephanie Mair 1 year ago (comments).
Holy shit, this COMPLETLY WORKED ON MY 2013 Chevy Cruze!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, they were going to charge $150 to program one key, so I used this method for three of them for free.
For all the people wondering if it works, I tried it on my 2010 Chevy cobalt, exactly how he did it and it worked just fine, bought the key of amazon for $8. So don’t go to a locksmith or dealership
This WILL WORK as long as your transponder is close enough to be read. If youre ghetto fabulous like me and had to tape a chip to a metal key, make sure its as close as you can get it to the cut part of the key without preventing it from inserting. Other than that, if it doesnt work, you did it wrong, because this IS legit, done it twice now. Thanks so much for posting.
That is ghetto fabulous....I had one or two of those taped up transponder keys back in the day! Make sure you use that good 3m stuff you can get on sale Black Friday..🤣😂🙃
You are excellent, I tried 6 or 7 videos until I found yours, it worked perfectly, thank you for your knowledge and the fact that you would help someone, after being so disgusted at GM , you have made my day.... God bless you, Randy and Kim,... ps I was working on a 2007 3/4 ton Silverado if that helps someone.
I did this on a 2000 Olds Sillhouette Van, I did NOT have the transponder key, only a key without a chip. and I did this 10 min thing 3x and it DID learn this.... Excellent vid.
Amazing!! 2011 Chevy HHR that key was lost and had to replace lock cylinder Had 2 different locksmiths tell me their programmers would not communicate with BCM or ECM and I would have to go to dealer. Dealer said $300 minimum and after trying this once HHR fired right up and key is coded. Wow! Thanks a billion
3rd time is a charm, it worked on my 2003 Saturn L200 with a key I had made through pop & Lock without the module being changed as they told me I needed done. I was about to junk the car!!
Wow ... Son lost keys, this worked!!! Thank you so much! It did it in two intervals; instead of 3 light went out. So I tried and it started right up. Soooo 😊 Happy!!! 😊
If you have a working Key it takes about 1 min. I bought a key off amazon for $8 had it cut at a locksmith for $2 and all I did was insert the working key to on without starting it. waited for the initial light check then turned it off and removed the working key, then [within 1 min] inserted the new key to the on pos. This programmed the key. Then it worked from there. $10 instead of $200+
even faster.. i actually remember doing this with my honda a long time ago. Thanks.. selling my copy to someone soon and i will tell them both options.
Muhamet Neziri.. didn't even notice this msg but It was my Acura TL, since it is the same family. The Honda I initially was thinking of was my '94 accord but that didn't have a chip that i can recall. It should work for most vehicles that have a chipped key. Which make sense.. you just need the original and to buy the uncut key with the chip because you may not find those keys that have the chip in them in hardware stores. It is possible to program them but it depends on the material of the key and what it is made out of so that it can hold the magnetic charge and program to allow you to start your car. I saw a video where someone copied his broken key from scratch with a gold element (if i am not mistaken) and once everything was done.. he tag the new key in the ignition with the old key by holding them together while he turn the ignition and the engine ignited on.
I have a 2007 saturn aura and this worked. actually i read a comment here about putting the old key in and turning it to on but not starting it then wait 5 sec. Take it out and put the new one in and start the car and it worked. Im in your debt. Thank you!
I did this for my 2010 impala and did not have to do it in 10 min increments. I did the same thing but noticed that the key light would go off after about 5 seconds, so then I would switch the key off wait 5 seconds, turn it back on, and i did that 3 times and it started right up. hope that helps. it saved me 28 min
Had to install a new cylinder lock on a 99 Chevrolet Venture mini van. Had to relearn the passkey 3 security system. I tried it twice and did not work. I was going to give up on this, however I had two keys together when I did this. I separated the keys and only had the one key in the ignition by itself. Not quite sure if this had anything to do with this, but on the third try, IT DID WORK just as it was described in the video. Great Video.
Thank you! Today I tried it with my Opel (Vauxhall) Zafira A 2001 and it worked! After the 3x10 minutes the car wouldn't start, I had to use the original key to start it, then I switched the key to the new one and then it worked perfectly.
3 ปีที่แล้ว
It stopped working for me. The dash key icon is blinking again.
Worked like a charm on a 2006 Saturn Vue...only difference was the security light went from flashing to solid once programming took place, which was right at the third 10 minute mark. I owe you a case of your choice, thanks!!!
Thank you for your video bought two keys online had them cut at Ace Hardware and used your video and worked perfectly. Thank you for saving me some money.
This same scenario works if you have a no start situation. The first time it happened to me it drove me crazy. I was lucky to have a good shop diagnose it for a reasonable price. I did not have time to do a video the next couple of times. Been over a year now.
Sounds cool! I made 2 non chipped copies, now, I hide my only working key in the car, I also keep my remote securely anchored to my Jeans (inside my pocket). Never had another locked out issue!!!
The dealership here in Texas were trying to charge me $169 for programming. I paid $84 for a new key. Leaving dealership now. Let you know if it works shortly. Thanks for the tip my friend.
My battery went dead. Will this affect this cycling? My anti theft light flashes after 5 sec. Did the procedure just as instructed. With the battery being dead for a couple days. Will this affect this procedure?
First thing I ever watch on TH-cam that actually worked how can I donate to you definitely going to buy my next car from you since I live in Ohio if you can give me a great deal
I just bought a key today, programming the key... put original key in, turn key to on with out starting the car, turn back take it out. put new key, turn key to on with out starting, turn off then fire up ignition.
OMG I had a locksmith come out make a key and it DIDN'T work, lock guy swore up and down key was good, made all kinds of excuses, bad starter, LoJack disabled car, it was stolen, LoJack DOES NOT DISABLE car, blew that excuse, stumbled onto this video, figured I had nothing to lose, fallowed the instructions, held my breath after 3rd cycle EEEHHHAAWWW started right up like a couple other folks I could kiss this gentleman :-)
You HAVE to turn the key as if trying to CRANK the engine to start it, then let it spring back that little bit, or the timer never starts for the 10 minutes. Simply turning it forward does nothing. I have been a locksmith for 25 years and I see this issue the most. People aren't told to crank the ignition or the timer doesn't start. After the first 10 minutes, the light will go out. Turn the key off, then CRANK again and wait for 10 minutes. After the second 10 minutes, turn the key off, then to CRANK a third time. After the light goes out for the third time, turn the key off, then immediately start the car. Voila'
@@DesertBloomsGarden it depends on the car. Some have the antitheft in the ignition itself, while some have the antitheft chip in the key. What kind of car?
Aaron Rowland I tried what you told me about cranking it, letting go back a little bit and the light still didn’t turn off after 10 minutes. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I’ve been trying for hours.
Hey guys not sure what kinda chariots you're all driving for dealers to extort $300 plus, granddaughter succeeded in losing the only key there was left to my 2012 GMC Acadia and in fact had vehicle towed late this afternoon to a Chevy dealer, pretty big dealership actually after stopping by to make sure they had the right key blank and was quoted $65.35 about $28 to have key cut rest for programming naturally, tried to chisel that down some they would't budge though he-he hassle to have the car towed there. Only buying one key there, will follow these instructions for spare. Thanks for the video
This totally worked!!! I had to pay $250 a few years ago when my key broke at a grocery store and had to pay all these extra charges. Fuck dealers fuck the system!!! Thanks for making this video!!!
Great video i did my 2009 Pontiac G6 GT last night and it work, save some $$$. i got my keys and remotes from Ebay. Now i need to program some remotes LOL. Thanks Again!!!
Wonder if this would fix my problem with an existing key. Passlock security locking me out from starting car i have to wait 10 minutes with the key on door open to start the car.
Had this happen on my corvette. I had to wait to restart car as my computer wasn’t reading my key. If you have a 1986-2004 car key you probably have the vats chip in the key stem. Looks like a little metal pin encased in black plastic on the key.
thanks for the video,now I can buy another key for my Pontiac -G5 and program it myself, without paying 100 bucks for it..thanks man, appreciate it....:)
WILL THIS WORK ON A 1999 CHEVROLET ASTRO PASSENGER VAN 4.3L V6 VORTEX MOTOR ALL POWER OPTIONS WITH A CRANK NO START ISSUE AND IM 200% SURE THIS IS THE ISSUE BECAUSE ALL NEW RELAYS FUSES DISTRIBUTOR CAP N ROTOR COIL AND IGNITION MODULE FUEL PUMP FILTER BATTERY ALTERNATOR STARTER CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED AS WELL AS KEY FOB REPROGRAMMING
Thanks so much! Worked perfectly. One thing I would like to add is that here in northern California all the dealerships will charge you a $75.00 fee to get the key pattern from GM to cut your key if you don't have a copy. I tried three dealerships in my area and they all wanted $36.00 for the key, PLUS $75 for the key pattern from GM. If you have a copy of the original key they can copy it and you don't have to pay the $75.00. No way around that. Still saved on towing fees and dealer fees. Total cost: with taxes $122.26
It works for my 2012 Mitsubishi Galant and 2008 ford explorer I wish there were more people like you willing to help others this world would be a better place
All u need is one video to Help everyone. He has 1.6m views on this video. He has helped just about everyone. including me this morning!

Thanks ever so much! It worked!! Even recovery guy , garage or immobiliser specialist couldn’t do it. You are a star!!
So glad I came across this channel. I have a 2013 implala ltz and like everyone I needed to take my car to the dealership. The estimated bill was out of control. I found this video and had to take my chances so i order the keys from Amazon four days later it arrived. I took my keys to AutoZone to make copies and I was told I using going to be changed for the copies. I put one key in the ignition and followed the step on the video. I also had my spare and other new key close to it. After all three 10min cycle the car turned on. It was time to do the next and once I put it in it must of been programmed while the first one was being programmed. I tested all three and it worked. It's channel this this that make TH-cam what it is today. Why keep what you know when you can help others. Thank you sir.

Thanks saved me hundreds! Locksmith wanted to charge $250 and the dealership wanted $80 plus a tow because original is broke, did this method and it worked on my 2012 Malibu! Total cost $44 bucks for new key made at Ace Hardware! 👍
This guy/channel deserves my sub after many attempts with the other option going through the settings. Thumbs up 👍 worked on a 2007 Tahoe.
Thank you for this video.. I lost my key. I called a random mobile locksmith, he came out to my car and waisted my time he made my car spark and was not successful at making the chip key for the car. Then I called another guy had to pay $50 bucks b/c he came out to the car. My friend found my lost key so I picked it up.. it no longer worked in my car.. the first locksmith lock the computer. So your video helped me reprogram my key🙏🏼thank you.. also another thing my car did not start once the key was reprogrammed so I need to disconnect the batter to reset the cars computer. Once I did that and reconnected the battery completely the car started right up. Thank you so much!
This forum is stock full of great, free information. Thanks to everybody!
Love to see people help eachother. Saved me a lot of headache also.
Thanks a lot for this video it worked for my 2010 camaro and I save $169 at the dealership and $50 for the tow. Your a life saver
Worked in my '09 Pontiac Solstice! Thanks for saving me a tow and dealer fees!
Sam Andrekus 👍🏻 good to hear just bought a 2008 solstice only one key and one key fob.
OMG!!! It worked on gmc sierra!!! Thank you for such a great video, easy to follow and IT WORKS!!! THANK YOU
What year I have a 04 im wondering about
This video is when you don't have an existing programmed key. Following the below if you need to program a copy key and already have an existing programmed key:
1. Insert an existing programmed working key into the ignition cylinder.
2. Turn ignition to the ON position for 5 seconds, then back to OFF position.
3. Remove the existing key and within 5 seconds insert new key and turn it to the ON position for 5 seconds.
4. Turn key OFF then back to ON. The key is now programmed. Start vehicle to test key.
Worked on my 2011 enclave. Thanks Stephanie Mair 1 year ago (comments).
It works just once, it will not be a working key.
This is one sweet way to save $$
Holy shit, this COMPLETLY WORKED ON MY 2013 Chevy Cruze!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, they were going to charge $150 to program one key, so I used this method for three of them for free.
For all the people wondering if it works, I tried it on my 2010 Chevy cobalt, exactly how he did it and it worked just fine, bought the key of amazon for $8. So don’t go to a locksmith or dealership
Transponder 🔑?
This WILL WORK as long as your transponder is close enough to be read. If youre ghetto fabulous like me and had to tape a chip to a metal key, make sure its as close as you can get it to the cut part of the key without preventing it from inserting. Other than that, if it doesnt work, you did it wrong, because this IS legit, done it twice now. Thanks so much for posting.
That is ghetto fabulous....I had one or two of those taped up transponder keys back in the day! Make sure you use that good 3m stuff you can get on sale Black Friday..🤣😂🙃
Thank you so much! You just saved my 100s dllrs !! Worked for my 2010 chevy camaro !! I followed the instructions and It work !!! Thank you !!!!
Sweet need to try this out on my 2014 camaro
I have an 08 Malibu your video was very helpful only difference was my car took 10min 30sec cycles! thank you again saved me $150
You are excellent, I tried 6 or 7 videos until I found yours, it worked perfectly, thank you for your knowledge and the fact that you would help someone, after being so disgusted at GM , you have made my day.... God bless you, Randy and Kim,... ps I was working on a 2007 3/4 ton Silverado if that helps someone.
I am tying this on a Buick LaCrosse 2007 in my second cycle hope this works
I am going to try on my 2001 GMC 1500...Hope it helps...
I did this on a 2000 Olds Sillhouette Van, I did NOT have the transponder key, only a key without a chip. and I did this 10 min thing 3x and it DID learn this.... Excellent vid.
Worked !!! 2010 Chevy Malibu LT. THANK YOU !! Saved me 75$ to program at dealer / locksmith
Amazing!! 2011 Chevy HHR that key was lost and had to replace lock cylinder Had 2 different locksmiths tell me their programmers would not communicate with BCM or ECM and I would have to go to dealer. Dealer said $300 minimum and after trying this once HHR fired right up and key is coded. Wow! Thanks a billion
3rd time is a charm, it worked on my 2003 Saturn L200 with a key I had made through pop & Lock without the module being changed as they told me I needed done. I was about to junk the car!!
About to junk my Impala if this doesn't work! 😅
Wow ... Son lost keys, this worked!!! Thank you so much! It did it in two intervals; instead of 3 light went out. So I tried and it started right up. Soooo 😊 Happy!!! 😊
If you have a working Key it takes about 1 min. I bought a key off amazon for $8 had it cut at a locksmith for $2 and all I did was insert the working key to on without starting it. waited for the initial light check then turned it off and removed the working key, then [within 1 min] inserted the new key to the on pos. This programmed the key. Then it worked from there. $10 instead of $200+
how to do it for a 2011 chevy impala?
thanks I just did what you said on my Cadillac escalade and it worked
even faster.. i actually remember doing this with my honda a long time ago. Thanks.. selling my copy to someone soon and i will tell them both options.
@@datona13 on what honda did u do it, i do have civic coupe 1998,will it work?
Muhamet Neziri.. didn't even notice this msg but It was my Acura TL, since it is the same family. The Honda I initially was thinking of was my '94 accord but that didn't have a chip that i can recall. It should work for most vehicles that have a chipped key. Which make sense.. you just need the original and to buy the uncut key with the chip because you may not find those keys that have the chip in them in hardware stores. It is possible to program them but it depends on the material of the key and what it is made out of so that it can hold the magnetic charge and program to allow you to start your car. I saw a video where someone copied his broken key from scratch with a gold element (if i am not mistaken) and once everything was done.. he tag the new key in the ignition with the old key by holding them together while he turn the ignition and the engine ignited on.
I have a 2007 saturn aura and this worked. actually i read a comment here about putting the old key in and turning it to on but not starting it then wait 5 sec. Take it out and put the new one in and start the car and it worked. Im in your debt. Thank you!
I did this for my 2010 impala and did not have to do it in 10 min increments. I did the same thing but noticed that the key light would go off after about 5 seconds, so then I would switch the key off wait 5 seconds, turn it back on, and i did that 3 times and it started right up. hope that helps. it saved me 28 min
I'm going to try and I will let you know because dealership and locksmiths want to charge 300.00 or more.
Deborah Kanu the dealership in my area told me it would cost over 600

2011 Tahoe, worked in 3 5 second increments! I️ owe you 29 minuets 😂

Had to install a new cylinder lock on a 99 Chevrolet Venture mini van. Had to relearn the passkey 3 security system. I tried it twice and did not work. I was going to give up on this, however I had two keys together when I did this. I separated the keys and only had the one key in the ignition by itself. Not quite sure if this had anything to do with this, but on the third try, IT DID WORK just as it was described in the video. Great Video.
OMG! Sir you just saved my job, my sanity, and probably my freedom lol... THANK YOU😍😍😍😍... Not all heros wear capes
what situation did you get into that this saved your job and freedom
@@rainingnone9285 none ya business fool
Thank you! Today I tried it with my Opel (Vauxhall) Zafira A 2001 and it worked! After the 3x10 minutes the car wouldn't start, I had to use the original key to start it, then I switched the key to the new one and then it worked perfectly.
It stopped working for me. The dash key icon is blinking again.
just did this on my 2007 Chevrolet Suburban lt and it worked like a charm thanks
i was just going to ask this question.. going to this now
About to get some for my Chevy. I Only got one key! Risky!
Did you order a programmable key online?
Worked like a charm on a 2006 Saturn Vue...only difference was the security light went from flashing to solid once programming took place, which was right at the third 10 minute mark. I owe you a case of your choice, thanks!!!
just program the key for my Pontiac thanks to this video just save me $50 tow and 65for the programming
So this work with Pontiac as well
This process worked on my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 work truck.... Thanks for the video.
thanks dude so much that's really work. I save couple hundred dollars Chevy dealer can blow my whistle.
Thank you for your video bought two keys online had them cut at Ace Hardware and used your video and worked perfectly. Thank you for saving me some money.
now its time to address that exhaust leak...
Ikr, instantly cringed when he started it.
Thanks worked on my son's 2012 malibu
This same scenario works if you have a no start situation. The first time it happened to me it drove me crazy. I was lucky to have a good shop diagnose it for a reasonable price. I did not have time to do a video the next couple of times. Been over a year now.
Sounds cool! I made 2 non chipped copies, now, I hide my only working key in the car, I also keep my remote securely anchored to my Jeans (inside my pocket). Never had another locked out issue!!!
this is with every gm with this type of security system. even with the most current vehicles.
The dealership here in Texas were trying to charge me $169 for programming. I paid $84 for a new key. Leaving dealership now. Let you know if it works shortly. Thanks for the tip my friend.
My battery went dead. Will this affect this cycling? My anti theft light flashes after 5 sec. Did the procedure just as instructed. With the battery being dead for a couple days. Will this affect this procedure?
No you should be fine. Thanks for watching!
Wow! I have a 2008 Yukon xl and this sure did work! Thank you so much!
Thanks for showing that process, GM has ripped off thousands of buyers over the years. Stop buying Gm car for 2 years to pay them back.
Awesome! It just worked for my mom!!! Thank you so much for this literally just saved us hundreds!!!
First thing I ever watch on TH-cam that actually worked how can I donate to you definitely going to buy my next car from you since I live in Ohio if you can give me a great deal
I'm glad it worked for you! If you really feel like donating it can be sent via cash app $mweekly32 Thanks for checking the video out.

Thanks Stephanie, saved me 29min and 30 sec. LOL. '11 Buick Enclave.
OMG I had a locksmith come out make a key and it DIDN'T work, lock guy swore up and down key was good, made all kinds of excuses, bad starter, LoJack disabled car, it was stolen, LoJack DOES NOT DISABLE car, blew that excuse, stumbled onto this video, figured I had nothing to lose, fallowed the instructions, held my breath after 3rd cycle EEEHHHAAWWW started right up like a couple other folks I could kiss this gentleman :-)
It works I used it on my 2009 Malibu
yes it just worked worked on my 2013 chevy impala thanks bro save bout 250 to 300 in towing and key program
You HAVE to turn the key as if trying to CRANK the engine to start it, then let it spring back that little bit, or the timer never starts for the 10 minutes. Simply turning it forward does nothing. I have been a locksmith for 25 years and I see this issue the most. People aren't told to crank the ignition or the timer doesn't start. After the first 10 minutes, the light will go out. Turn the key off, then CRANK again and wait for 10 minutes. After the second 10 minutes, turn the key off, then to CRANK a third time. After the light goes out for the third time, turn the key off, then immediately start the car. Voila'
Correct.. but I used another solution, that someone stated in the comments and I was good from there.
would this work if replacing the lock cylinder and not the key?
@@DesertBloomsGarden it depends on the car. Some have the antitheft in the ignition itself, while some have the antitheft chip in the key. What kind of car?
Aaron Rowland I tried what you told me about cranking it, letting go back a little bit and the light still didn’t turn off after 10 minutes. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I’ve been trying for hours.
What type of car?
This worked on my 2013 GMC Denali saved a lot of money!! Thank you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU SAVED ME LOADS OF TIME AND MONEY, GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys not sure what kinda chariots you're all driving for dealers to extort $300 plus, granddaughter succeeded in losing the only key there was left to my 2012 GMC Acadia and in fact had vehicle towed late this afternoon to a Chevy dealer, pretty big dealership actually after stopping by to make sure they had the right key blank and was quoted $65.35 about $28 to have key cut rest for programming naturally, tried to chisel that down some they would't budge though he-he hassle to have the car towed there. Only buying one key there, will follow these instructions for spare. Thanks for the video
This totally worked!!! I had to pay $250 a few years ago when my key broke at a grocery store and had to pay all these extra charges. Fuck dealers fuck the system!!! Thanks for making this video!!!
Thank you!!!!!🙏🏽 this worked for my 09 impala I’m forever grateful I was gonna have to pay 175 but you saved me so much money
thank man it did work for my 2007 pontiac g5...thanks again
Great video i did my 2009 Pontiac G6 GT last night and it work, save some $$$. i got my keys and remotes from Ebay. Now i need to program some remotes LOL. Thanks Again!!!
works on Pontiac im assuming?
Wow. Super nice video worked on my 07 new body style Silverado. Thank you!!!
Thanks. Worked on a 2011 cruze. Saved me a wrecker bill.
Thanks for the video, this works great for a 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe!
Wonder if this would fix my problem with an existing key. Passlock security locking me out from starting car i have to wait 10 minutes with the key on door open to start the car.
Had this happen on my corvette. I had to wait to restart car as my computer wasn’t reading my key. If you have a 1986-2004 car key you probably have the vats chip in the key stem. Looks like a little metal pin encased in black plastic on the key.
You saved me some money great video also I only had to do the cycle 2 thankyou
thanks for the video,now I can buy another key for my Pontiac -G5 and program it myself, without paying 100 bucks for it..thanks man, appreciate it....:)
I have a 02 Cadillac DTS, could I use a newer Cadillac key that's looks the same?
+Andre Goodwin Yes. I work in the parts department at a Cadillac dealership.
pugggs thanks
my key broke in half, it is an 06. I have the two pieces and was able to scotch tape it to get home. Thanks for all the info here
WILL THIS WORK ON A 1999 CHEVROLET ASTRO PASSENGER VAN 4.3L V6 VORTEX MOTOR ALL POWER OPTIONS WITH A CRANK NO START ISSUE AND IM 200% SURE THIS IS THE ISSUE BECAUSE ALL NEW RELAYS FUSES DISTRIBUTOR CAP N ROTOR COIL AND IGNITION MODULE FUEL PUMP FILTER BATTERY ALTERNATOR STARTER CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND THIS PROCEDURE HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED AS WELL AS KEY FOB REPROGRAMMING
I'm having a crank no start as well and I'm thinking I will try this when I get home
Wow dude you rock. Gotta Love TH-cam great job. Thank you
Thanks so much! Worked perfectly. One thing I would like to add is that here in northern California all the dealerships will charge you a $75.00 fee to get the key pattern from GM to cut your key if you don't have a copy. I tried three dealerships in my area and they all wanted $36.00 for the key, PLUS $75 for the key pattern from GM. If you have a copy of the original key they can copy it and you don't have to pay the $75.00. No way around that. Still saved on towing fees and dealer fees. Total cost: with taxes $122.26
