Key fob quick question ?
Quick question about Key Fob. Currently I am unable to program them I took it to one place and the stealership and both said they couldn't. Any idea what it could be what I could check ?
When I lock my doors with the buttons then close the door then open it with the car key the alarm goes off so I know the alarm functions.
Any information on what I can do is appreciated I hate locking my car then unlocking it and the alarm just going off

I don't have a fob at all the Dealer was going to program one they had for me but they couldn't.
If i lock the door with the button from the inside then unlock it with the car key the alarm goes off and if you say thats normal then i guess thats good.

Pretty sure thats normal since they didn't list it as a problem just the fact that they couldn't program the fob they had.
The place I had gone to also couldn't program the one they had and it looked identical to the dealer one?
should I buy one from somewhere and ask them to see if they can? I checked like fuses there was nothing wrong. Is there a specific part that they fob would connect to like its receiver what is that?

Idk because I tried it at this one place I called up said they could do it they hooked up the device to my car but said they couldn't and that I should take it to the dealer.
So I did (got the recall done to it at the same time for that key thing or what ever) and they also said they were unable to program it? You really think it might have just been the person? There is another dealer I could probably ask about doing it for me I just wanted to know if there is anything I could personally check to see if something was really wrong?

Also, if you go through the settings on your steering wheel, where you reset your oil life, I think I recall an option for the alarm there.
Else, just press down on the actual lock on each door, instead of pressing the lock button. When you use the key, it only unlocks your door, so then just press the lock for your door each time.you.get out, and use the key to get in. Have a passenger, tell them to press their lock when they get out. Easy peasy. I'd go to another dealer though. Hope that one didn't charge you.

All cobalts i have driven and even the ones i have seen people unlock with their keys, the alarm goes off. Even happens on my g5. But If you press the lock button on the door twice quick before it starts beeping for the delayed lock, you can avoid the setting the alarm causing it to not go off when opened with the key. I remember that working for me when my fob broke
