2014 GMC Sierra or Silverado 1500 Remote (RKE) programming?

SDPlissken · October 15, 2013

Is there an on board procedure via the DIC or similar to program a factory remote transmitter (RKE) to this truck?

I cannot find any information at this time on the new 2014 1500 models.

Doubtful. That ability went away in 2011 on the 900-series trucks.

Are talking about the key fobs?

Yes, this is the key fob.

On 2-5 of the manual is states

"Only RKE transmitters programmed to this vehicle will work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased and programmed through your dealer. Each vehicle can have up to eight transmitters programmed to it. See your dealer for transmitter programming."

SDPlissken,

I understand that you may need to go to your preferred dealership to program the transmitter for your key Fob. Please private message me if I can be of any assistance.

Thanks for the replies.

There are some instances where GM does not list an obp procedure for remotes in their manuals, even though there may be.

Don't get your hopes up. Like I said before, there is no way to do it on the 2011-13s. Dealer gave me a non-programmed remote when I got the truck and I had to bring it back. The service writer showed me the TSB saying you can't do it without the scan tool anymore.

\I have a Matco Maximus 2.0 can that do it, or does it need to be the GM tool?

So if my buttons are getting worn out I have to buy new remote and have dealer program it? That's some serious bs lol

Why couldn't you just take the guts out and put it in the new fob? That's what I did for my wife's car.

This sounds like a load of BS. You can program an actual key (which could be used to steal a truck) but yet you can't program a fob, which only unlocks the doors? WTF.

Another case of technology making our lives harder.
