Ap3

[jdelrizzle]

Ok so my truck has the factory remote start, rpo code ap3 not ap8, remote start is already enabled, I bought a used truck and I was only given one key fob one key, I'm about to have some keys made and purchase some new key fobs (key fob kit). Now here's my million dollar question: Do I need to have the dealership program the new fobs to my truck? Or is activating them as easy as following the procedure in the owners manual? Once again my truck is already remote start enabled from the factory.

Should just have to follow the procedure. Just remember the keys have a chip in them.

Keys have a chip in them? So I probably have to through the dealer to get keys?

Or a locksmith, ebay etc.....

 

What year truck? Depending on that answer, you may not need a chipped key

Keys aren't cheap! My wife lost a set for her trailblazer a couple years ago.. they wanted like 100 bucks for one key at the dealer! Needless to say, we still only have one set haha. Got an extra key fob off ebay for like $15. programmed it myself but it didn't have remote start at the time. Just a series of key turns and button presses.

My truck is a 2009 it's not the one in my signature.

I was just letting you know to get the correct key. They aren't cheap but locksmiths can still make them I believe

Then you need a chipped key. Dealer, locksmith for key, cutting and programming. Or ebay for the blank then get it cut.

What about the key fob, I don't need the dealer to program for me since my truck already has remote start, do I?

You should be able to follow the procedure in the OM to program your fobs.
