- Here is how you program a GM Key to you car for free. The dealer who cut this key for me said I would have to have the vehicle towed in to have they key programed to the car. This is not the case. In 30 Minutes you can have your new key programed to the car. Just follow the steps listed in the video above. Don't pay to have the dealership do it! Save Hundreds of $$$.

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 forgot to say thanks!
AAA service guys are routinely FOS and clueless... sad.
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!
I dropped mine in the toilet 2008 Ford focus I live in my car an don't have the 200 any suggestions
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.
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!! ❤️
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!!!
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!
Does the key still work today?
Did it really work because I lost my key and dealer charging me allot to get it programmed
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
This guy/channel deserves my sub after many attempts with the other option going through the settings. Thumbs up 👍 worked on a 2007 Tahoe.
I was told the same thing with our 2011 Camaro. We had no key fob and this worked perfect! Thank you! Life & money saver!
Did you have an original key???
Just found your video yesterday. I tried this on my 2012 Chevy Traverse and followed your instructions. It worked flawlessly. Thank you so much.
Mike thanks alot I all the way in Jamaica lost my key cut one in Miami and it needed programming. Your procedure WORKS thanks again.
Michael Allen
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.
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
Just tried this on my 2008 Chevrolet Colorado and it worked much love too the man that posted this video
It’s not working for my 2006 Buick LaCrosse
What do I do?
@@sonofgod5061 maybe call a locksmith or search online some more about the car
Will it work on a 2006 Cadillac CTS?
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
I tried this and it worked exactly as shown, I saved myself at least 50.00! Thank you so much!
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.
Lyle Clark hello how did u get new key without the original key thanks
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.
@@dragonmstr69mine wouldn’t give me the key unless I paid to let them program it
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 how do you program a remote
programming your remotes are also found on youtube
Chris Andersen g
@ 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!
How does Home Depot cut the key without having the original to duplicate from?
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!
Show de bola 👏👏👏
Thanks ever so much! It worked!! Even recovery guy , garage or immobiliser specialist couldn’t do it. You are a star!!
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 $44 bucks for new key made at Ace Hardware! 👍
This forum is stock full of great, free information. Thanks to everybody!
Love to see people help eachother. Saved me a lot of headache also.
I lost my original key too had a key cut at dealer too and followed your instructions and I DID IT! THANKS MIKE!!!!!!
i'm guessiing they cut it from the vin?
Thank you just tried what you said on 07 Chevy I waited 10min or until lock light went of turn off key waited 5 to 10 seconds turned key on did this process 3 times worked to perfection. Thank you saved 300$
I tried it and it worked. Thank you so much I was without my car for 1 month and was trying everything. Thanks again my friend!!!
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!!!!
Geezer Champion so does the key need a chip in it or can it just be any key that opens/fits in the ignition?
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.
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.
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!!
Wow! I have a 2008 Yukon xl and this sure did work! Thank you so 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.
Well if it work with a2013 I hope it work with my 2012
Thanks a lot for this video it worked for my 2010 camaro and I save $169 at the dealership and $50 for the tow. Your a life saver
So glad I came across this channel. I have a 2013 implala ltz and like everyone I needed to take my car to the dealership. The estimated bill was out of control. I found this video and had to take my chances so i order the keys from Amazon four days later it arrived. I took my keys to AutoZone to make copies and I was told I using going to be changed for the copies. I put one key in the ignition and followed the step on the video. I also had my spare and other new key close to it. After all three 10min cycle the car turned on. It was time to do the next and once I put it in it must of been programmed while the first one was being programmed. I tested all three and it worked. It's channel this this that make TH-cam what it is today. Why keep what you know when you can help others. Thank you sir.
I just had a locksmith come to my house looked to see I had a different steering column told me he could reprogram my new ignition to work for a mind blowing wallet draining 220$ 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

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.
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
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 $$
Thanks for the video, this works great for a 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe!
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
Many Thanks For Posting Great Video Clear & Concise Works Every Time.
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
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 just came across your video and it's definitely saving us a lot of money thank you so much
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.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU SAVED ME LOADS OF TIME AND MONEY, GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
This process worked on my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 work truck.... Thanks for the video.
Your video just make me save $150... thanks a lot for your tips! I will try this right now
just did this on my 2007 Chevrolet Suburban lt and it worked like a charm thanks

About to get some for my Chevy. I Only got one key! Risky!
Did you order a programmable key online?
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!!! 😊

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
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!
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 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!
Is it only for chevy? Will work on Mitsubishi?
Good! But how did you get the code for the key cut? If the key was lost
@@louisbelanger8792 vin number. I took proof of ownership (registration in my name) to the dealer. They cut the key accordingly.
@@MagnumD-tr4qs tks man!
Worked the first time on my 01 montecarlo thank you so much saved so much money the part only cost around 60 bucks
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!!!
I lovey you think you for this video you are the best car fixer think you!!!!
I try it what he said to do, and it work
Thank you! This worked for our 2011 sierras denali. Appreciate it!!
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!!!
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 🔑?
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
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.
My indicator light won't go off after the first ten minutes cycle what do I do
Awesome!!! Thank you so much it worked for my son’s 2006 Pontiac G6.
Tks
man worked for my chevy traverse 2010
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! 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.
Thanks. Worked on a 2011 cruze. Saved me a wrecker bill.
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
shane brady 6h
2011 Tahoe, worked in 3 5 second increments! I️ owe you 29 minuets 😂
shane brady ض
Exactly right. I bought a new ECM and that's what I had to do to recognize the key
yes it just worked worked on my 2013 chevy impala thanks bro save bout 250 to 300 in towing and key program
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....:)
this is with every gm with this type of security system. even with the most current vehicles.
About to go home and try this... man I hope it works. Had to drive the ex-wife's Prius to work today!
This is the most helpful video ever. Thank you man
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!!!
Is the same as a Chevy malibu 2009

Ikr, instantly cringed when he started it.
Yasss it worked we just as simple directions thank you thank you thank you God bless you

I just saw this online, fool at work lost the work van keys... and we only had one.... yeh.
Going to buy 2 blanks online, reprogram them both.
Where should i get them cut ??
I have a question For each 10 minutes do you wait for the light to go of or will it go of nly on the third 1o minutes?
