How to program Chevy key or GM key without original.

How do I program my Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac or any General Motors car key? 

The programming of any of these Gm keys is relatively easy and most of them can be programmed yourself DIY.

     If you have at least 1 working key….

  • Insert original key and turn on
  • Wait 5 seconds or until flashing security light goes off
  • Within 10 seconds insert new key and turn on
  • Wait 5 seconds or until flashing security light goes off
  • Key is now programmed 

     If all keys are lost…. Then you must perform what we call the 10x10x10 procedure:

  • Insert new key and turn on (do not start!)
  • Wait 10 minutes (security light will turn off)
  • Turn key off
  • Turn key back to on (do not start)
  • Wait another 10 minutes until security light turns off again
  • Turn key off
  • Turn key back to on for 3rd time
  • Wait another 10 minutes, until security light turns off
  • Turn key off
  • Key should now be programmed and you can start the vehicle
  • Make extra copies following above instructions for 1 working key

*Note… You will need to call The Keyless Shop to have an electronic chip key made by code and cut, in order for this to work. You will need to provide documentation that you own the vehicle and can either pick up the key from a nearby location or the key can be sent to you in the mail. We will provide any assistance we can and strive to meet all your key needs!
