The expensive part of spare key will be getting it cut as it's not a traditional key. Looks like the programming will only take a couple seconds and no additional hardware

 

..FYI for those with 2017/18.. got a spare key cut locally and tried following the video to program it but it didn't work.. did some online searching and turns out GM added the requirement for 2 original keys to the above procedure.. followed the above method but with 2 keys first and it worked like a charm!

A few questios: Does the Dorman fob come with a key ring on it? The pics don't show one, and I want to be able to attach my key to the fob. Not a big deal.

 

Also, can the programmer be bought separately? I don't think so. I'd like to have the nicer looking fob than the standard all black like the one I already have. And, I'm not going to buy the kit and not use the provided fob as this, also, is not a big deal.

.. no key ring

.. Dorman only sells programmer with kit (I'm sure it's from a tech support point of view)

.. extra/alternate fobs can be found cheap online

Thanks, the first two are what I figured, but I really appreciate the confirmation. I'm pretty sure I can find a ring. Odd thing is (to me), on Dorman's site, most of the fobs show a ring.

 

Well, maybe I am going to buy the upgraded fob and wind up with 3. We'll see.
