How to Program a Chevy Key Fob

Today, a majority of vehicle models offer keyless entry capabilities including your new Chevy. Your Chevy key fob is programmable to help remotely control your vehicle’s door locks, trunks, engines and panic alarms. If your key fob is not currently programmed you can program it yourself in only a few minutes from your car! Learn how to get your full keyless capabilities with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Chevrolet here.

Programming Your Chevy Key Fob Step-by-Step

Follow the easy steps below to program your chevy key fob:

1. Enter your new or used Chevy model with your keyless remote and your ignition key. Be sure to close all the doors behind you!
2. After you close your doors, insert your key into the ignition. While your key is in the ignition press and hold the “unlock” tab or button on the driver’s side door. Be ready to hold onto that tab through the next step.
3. While still pressing the “unlock” tab turn the key in the ignition to “on” and then back to “off” two times in quick succession.
4. You may now release the “unlock” button on the driver’s side door. Wait for the car’s locks to cycle – now indicating the beginning of the program sequence.
5. Hold down the “unlock” and “lock” button on your keyless-entry remote until your doors respond by cycling again. This will indicate that the programming was successful.
6. Once the doors cycle again turn the key in the ignition back to “on”. Congratulations, you have successfully programmed your chevy key fob!

You can repeat these steps with your remaining keyless-entry remotes.
