Sir you are a god send! I just broke my extra key fob and when I called the dealership they told me 250.00. Because of you I was able to buy a replacement key fob online for cheap and program it myself! Thank you so much!
And another congratulations for saying that you broke the key, not that the key broke - as if it would break all by itself. My 2012 keys are all doing well.
Thank you soooo much! You wouldn't believe how much these locksmiths wanted to charge me! Instead paying $235, I found an Ace Hardware & paid them $35 to cut the key & applied your method. Thanks again & GOD bless!
My Dude!!!! So thankful I found this video! It literally programmed as fast as it did on your video! Thank you so very, very much. I had an extra key for years but didn't know how to program it. My wife's key was broken like in your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
My key fobs were worn out for my 2014 Equinox. I purchased two replacement OEM key fobs online for what the dealership wanted for ONE fob. Thanks to your videos I was able to switch the keys from the old fobs to the new ones and program them, saving me lots of time and money. Thanks!!
OMG. Thank you so much sir. Saved a bundle with your video. Cost of fob, key cutting and your video $45. Dealer cost to do $325. Keep those videos coming for folks like me please.
This video was very accurate for my 2015 Chevrolet Equinox LT. It really works. It took me 5 minutes to program. Saved me $150.00 to what the Dealership would of charged me. I well [please. Thanks so much.
OH yeah man! U are a life saver. GM wanted to charge 250 dollars for new flip keys for my 2017 cruze. So I bought 2 new flip keys @ $20.00 each. Did exactly what you did in the 2 videos you put out, and saved myself $210.00 dollars. Thxs man!
Thank you. Worked perfectly. I had one. It was lost for a couple years. Turned up. Battery dead. Replaced battery. Nothing. Thank you for this quick, free fix. 2014 Sonic.
I have a 2013 equinox and the same exact thing just happened to me. My key broke off my key fob so thank you for this video cuz I'm going to go buy the key and program it myself
i just struggled with having to do this with only my broken key fob and the blank replacement fob. could not get it to program to my car or get the theft deterrent to go away....and i see a lot of people asking about it. so after trying everything i thought of without having to spend money i decided to rip open the plastic case to my old fob making sure the green "motherboard?" stayed unharmed and popped open the new fob the just put the green computer piece in the old fob to the new one.. placed the spring piece and crap back in then closed the new fob and it worked... old fob is shredded though lol. dont think it was meant to be taken apart but hey this worked for me hope it helps someone else and saves you time..also i have a 2017 chevy impala.
Yeah, I noticed there are no comments for the question responses. I saved money on the fob, might as well pay the price for the “Cut & Programming “. I also noticed that the first video had 1 “cut” key transferred. How did he end up with 2 “cut” in this video? Especially if the 1 cut was switched between fobs! I’m sure this response will be deleted and not explained…
I watched your video on changing the fob... I have had my "new" terrain for a week now, and, because of how they are made, the fob is bad. I was immediately bummed, hearing it would be "easily $150+ to get a new key" ... I ordered the fob, from a local part store, it was like 45$, but, I'm ok with that. It should be here in 4 days, I'm Very grateful to have found these videos!
My question is, does the old key blade have to be attached to the new key fob when starting the car for the new key fob to be programmed? Thank you in advance!
Ur video was the First video to come up. All I typed was how to program a key Fob I didn’t type the year make or model of the vehicle & the exact video with the fob I ordered popped up!! If this not God !!! Thank u !! U just saved me $120.. mines coming Wednesday 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I bought a replacement keyfob from walmart I lost the instructions after I programmed it. I replaced my battery and now it needs to be reprogrammed. Will this work?
Bought new key fob and went through programming and all worked but a week later the fob stop working and only the key works to start the vehicle. Any reason why key works but not fob? Checked batteries already. Maybe keep engine running longer with new fob to allow for reprogramming?
I bought a key fob from GM. The key is a little different cut so doesn't turn the ignition when I tried to do the programming with the old key. Any suggestions?
Is this for a GM I have a Chevy Impala 2017 will the same thing work it's not a push start my key broke off also and I ordered one on Amazon and had to cut so the same process work
Hello when I goto order a new one, whats a good place to get a good quality one vs. the dealer? and do I have to know the OEM part number or just go by the buttons on it so they look the same? good video thanks
And to think many dealerships charge an average of $150 to do a 30 second job. They should be ashamed of themselves!! Thanks for the great information. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Question: My girlfriends 2017 Chevy Trax key fob works with the locks only, but the alarm doesn't beep anymore after we changed her battery. Any idea how to reset the alarm to activate when locking the SUV?
I have a question. So my key fob chip doesn’t work, I ordered a replacement from Amazon and attached original cut key to the new fob. How do I get it to program?
I swapped the key blade in another video. th-cam.com/video/zZxqat-dUBI/w-d-xo.html Other than that, the Dealer. Not sure who else has the ability to cut these.
I tried this procedure on my 2018 Chevrolet Trax but didn't work. It shows on the DIC, "Immobilizer deterrent system". Please can you help me with programming my 2018 Chevrolet Trax? I have one working flip key and wants to program 2 new cut flip keys. Thanks.
Wen u program the new fob will it also allow u to use the electric start button as well ? I dont need new one i just want to buy back up one just incase but no one ever says when they program it if it allows u to hit the electric start button and it work they just say how it starts car when u put key in
Since I made this video, I had to replace the computer in my wife's car. Currently, her remote start doesn't work. I don't know if its due to the computer change or it didn't work before. Its still worth trying out.
Why did you start the car with the broken key first? Didn't you have a spare good key to start the car with (usually the car comes with 2 good key fobs)? I am assuming that after the steps in this video worked that you then placed the broken key that you started the car in this video into another key fob and had to reprogram that key also with the 2nd new fob?
Good video bro..question I have a 2014 cruze my car was stolen and found 3hrs later no keys my wife left it running and someone took it so I got a new key cut do you know how to program the actual buttons on it
So they same thing a Happend to me today .what happen to your wife but we only have one key how would I reprogram it with one ? Or would I have to go get a new one ?
Does this happen to work with the remote start feature as well? Will that button get programed as well ?? I was just reading some forums that said that button might not work once the after market key fob gets programed.
This is most likely a silly question...but I only have a 2020 Chevy Spark LS. It only came with a basic turn key. No fob. I do know that somehow the driver side front door as a feature that can unlock/lock with OnStar. Is there some way I can program a GM key fob to lock and unlock the front driver side door?
I just bought a used 2014 Chevy Equinox. It didn't come with the original key( NO FOB).Will this method work if I order a new FOB? If so.. will it work for the doors and trunk
Where did you get the replacement key/fob ? Also where did you get it cut? It has to be cut first right? Then programmed? Please help me 2014 Malibu owner
I cannot believe that this worked. This is awesome. I thought it was more complicated than that. I almost want to fight the dealership. $70 to $120 for this????

I have a question. So my key fob chip doesn’t work, I ordered a replacement from Amazon and attached original cut key to the new fob. How do I get it to program?
If i perform the programming incorrectly, do i get a "second chance" or will the key become unusable thereafter?
I tried that but it shows text deterrent system? It works turning on but that it stops working after a few minutes. Troubleshoot?
@CS3 Performance Thank You again🎉🎉🎉. Quick question so i bought a fob, where could I get the key cut.

does the key have to be cut first My fob came with a key that has no grooves on it?

I don't know of any. Sorry.
Where did you purchase the new key fob? I’m having trouble choosing the right one.
eBay. Choose one that matches your current fob.
will that also program the remote start function of the fob as well
It worked on the wife's car, but I don't guarantee it does.
I just bought a used 2014 Chevy Equinox. It didn't come with the original key( NO FOB).Will this method work if I order a new FOB? If so.. will it work for the doors and trunk
I'm not sure
ok looks simple ( but should you have that indent on the other old key ?
Indent? Key fobs are identical.
What year was the Equinox? I currently have a 2012 Cruze and I’m hoping the programming of the fob will work with such a old car like mine.
2012
So this will work for my 2015 Chevrolet Equinox auto start plus unlock doors as well?? With no issues
I did this on a 2010 Equinox.
Will this work with 2016 Chevy Malibu LT key?
Try it out, I've only did this on my wife's car
Does this also program the remote start and lift gate?
