GM Programming Instructions GM-RKE-07T-3B

Based on the Make, Model and Year of your vehicle, you may have different programming instructions.  We recommend double checking your owner's manual to confirm which instructions you need to follow.  

This list is what each vehicle's instructions most commonly are, but sometimes a vehicle may use different instructions than what is listed.  

It can be difficult to get the timing correct while programming this remote.  Read the instructions all the way through before beginning to make sure you fully understand each step and can perform it quickly enough.  If you're having trouble getting the vehicle to enter programming mode, try to vary the timing of the steps.

 

For the 2004 – 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, 2004 – 2012 GMC Canyon and the 2006 – 2010 Hummer H3:

This remote can only be programmed by a professional automotive locksmith or a dealership (it does not need to be the same dealership from where the vehicle was purchased).  We recommend an automotive locksmith with good reviews, and calling 2-3 professionals to get the best price.

 

For the 2001 – 2005 Chevrolet Venture, 2001 – 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette and the 2001 – 2005 Pontiac Montana:
