hey guys...i just ordered a new key fob off amazon. Because my dealer wants 75-80 bucks to program it, i really am looking for alternative ways. My buddy has a Actron Autoscanner plus tool, and i was wondering if this will allow me to program my key fob. Thanks!

 

bump

 

i thought you could program it youself??? idk ive never done it

 

Really, $70-$80? My dealer charges $50. A locksmith should be able to do it for like $40.
My locksmith has a tech2, but did use something else to program mine.. Forgot what it was..

 

hmmm okay... yea I'm pretty sure they wanted something crazy, unless it was 80 for the actual key fob and 25 for the programming...ill have to double check, i was just hoping my friends tool would work

 

kinda hard to say but probably no. i tired to program with my friends matco genesis tool. i had an older snap on pro tool and even it didnt do it. my new scanner does it, its a solus pro 12.2. if u was in my area i would do it for free to help a fellow forum member out

 

Does this work on our cars. Never tried it How to Program GM Keyless Remotes: 9 Steps (with Pictures)

 

Not on my 07. It works on older GM's(used it for my wife's 05 envoy) but the newer ones need to be programmed with tech2 or equivalent.
