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 remotely control your vehicle’s door locks, trunk, engine, and panic alarms. If your Chevrolet key fob is not currently programmed you can program it yourself in a matter of minutes from your car! Learn how to start enjoying your full remote key fob capabilities with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Chevrolet. We’ve provided step-by-step instructions on how to program a Chevy key fob, below.

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 entry remote in hand. 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 of your Chevrolet key fob was successful.
6. Once the doors cycle again, turn the key in the ignition back to “on.” This action will complete the programming sequence, meaning your Chevy key fob is ready to go!

If you have any remaining keyless entry remotes that need to be programmed with your vehicle, simply follow these directions again and you’ll be all set.
