If you’re just bought a new or pre-owned Chevy vehicle in Oneida and you’re having trouble with your Chevy remote start key fob, you’re not alone! Plenty of drivers are unsure of how to program a Chevy key fob, and the service team at Sun Chevrolet is here to help. As long as you follow the proper steps, Chevy key fob programming is a breeze. Read on for the details, and feel free to contact our office with any questions or for information about a Chevy key fob replacement!

Chevy Key Fob Programming: A Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Manually unlock your Chevy with your key and climb behind the wheel. Make sure all the car doors and windows are fully shut before you begin.
  2. Insert the key into the ignition but don’t start your vehicle.
  3. Press and hold the UNLOCK button on your driver’s side door, then turn the key to the “On” position. This should start up the interior lights and infotainment system, but won’t ignite the engine.
  4. Switch the key to “Off,” then back on and back off in quick succession (the whole sequence should be on – off – on – off).
  5. Release the driver’s side UNLOCK button. You should hear the door locks engage and then disengage, which means that the Chevy remote start key fob programming sequence can begin.
  6. On the key fob, press and hold the UNLOCK and LOCK buttons simultaneously. You’ll hear the door locks engage and disengage again, which means that you’ve successfully programmed the Chevy remote start key fob!
  7. Re-insert your newly programmed key into the ignition in the “On” position to end the programming sequence.
