Guide to Program a GM Car Remote Using a Key Fob

Is your old car remote broken, lost, or malfunctioning? This article will show you a quick way to replace your old car remote and save you a lot of money in the process. In this method, a key fob is used to program the remote to your car. This process should work for various GM vehicles from 2005-2012, including models such as Aura, Grand Prix Lacrosse, and Malibu.

    1
    Enter your vehicle. Work will be done on the driver’s side.

    2
    Locate the OBD2 Port. This port is located underneath the steering wheel.

3
    Close the door you entered through. Make sure all the other doors are closed as well before proceeding.

    4
    Insert car key into the ignition. Turn the key till the odometer lights turn on. Do not start the engine.

5
    Insert the key fob into the port. You only have two minutes to complete the following steps; otherwise the session will time out.

    6
    Wait for a chime or red light. Once you hear or see it, the remote is ready to be programmed.

    7
    Press and hold the lock and unlock button on the remote at the same time. Hold them until the light on the key fob flickers and turns orange.

    8
    Remove the key fob. There is a clip underneath the OBD2 port.
        Use the screwdriver to press on the clip to ease the removal.

9
    Remove the key and get out of the car.

10
    Test the remote. Make sure every button works correctly. If this step fails, try the procedure again.
