Lost Key and Fob

RP53 · December 3, 2016

speaking of keys, i wonder if you could get the switchblade key & fob cut and programed for our trucks ?

After three attempts in failing to program it properly I took it back to the dealer. I'd unlock the door with it, and immediately the alarm would go off.

Yeah and the alarm going off when you opened the door with the key wasn't the keys fault, it's because you last locked the doors with the FOB and set the alarm.

no.

And don't buy a generic remote and key on eBay. They have a 50% success rate of working. I'm making a number up there but I'd say about half the ones I try to program won't.

Yes you can but the gear lever will hit the fob and bad stuff will happen.

well what is it Yes or NO

It is no. You can't have it that way, and that's final.

A local dealership quoted me $45 for a key that I could program myself and $120 for a key fob+$40 for them to program the fob.

Do these prices sound average? I'm going to call around to other dealerships in my area (currently in N. Dallas, TX) to get a feel tomorrow.

I saw some remotes that claim to be OEM on eBay for $50. I'd still have to get the dealership to program but that's $70 saved off what I was quoted for the remote. Anyone have any experience going the 'ebay' route?

My 14 Silverado has that new style key that is cut on the sides, and I purchased one from my dealer for $70. No programming was necessary. At least none that I did. I keep it hid under the carpet where I know but think it will never be found. Can always open the door with the On star app, at least for 3 years. After that I may need to move it outside under the body.

Maybe they programed it for me...
