2019 Sierra 1500: Remove old key fob entries

[Hockeycajun23]

Bought a 2019 Sierra 1500 SLT recently but it only came with an aftermarket key fob without a hard key.  Hired a certified locksmith to create a GMC key fob and he cut a hard key as well.  Everything works well, however the truck sees this key fob as Driver #3 and this configuration does not allow setting anything into the Memory settings (looks for #1 and #2).  I have called several local dealers and they keep bouncing me around without answers.  My questions to this forum would be if I should utilize the links from web on how to program without any key fob and just overwrite those currently in memory or do I need to go to dealer and let them experiment.

 

Key Fob works fine except the memory settings.  

 

Thanks ahead of time.

How many keys do you have for the truck?

 

Memory functions are only tied to Key 1 and Key 2.  Any added in keys do not have the ability to recall memory functions or program memory functions.

None of the original 2 key fobs.  It was an aftermarket fob that registers as Driver #3.  I have since added a valid GMC key fob that also registers as Driver 3 and I self programmed another one (Amazon) that comes up as Driver #4.  I am trying to remove the original 2 from settings so I can possibly reprogram the ones I have to Driver 1 and 2.

Trip to the dealer.  They will have to use GM SPS and delete all existing keys, and then program all of the keys you've got.  You have to have 2 at a minimum for them to complete the procedure.  However...its 50/50 that the aftermarket keys will program back in or not, fair warning on that.  Seen them work, seen them not work.

Was afraid of that.  Thankfully its not urgent and I will do it when I am bored or have a few bills hanging loose to waste.  Thank You much sir.
