Thanks for this video! I purchased a replacement key fob for my 2011 Chevy Cruze from Amazon for $16.78. Ace Hardware cut the key for $10. I programmed the key fob using your method - I started the Cruze with my old key & let it run until all the dash lights went out (about 6-8 seconds). Shut the car off, and then immediately inserted my new key; started the car and let it run until all the dash lights went out (about 6-8 seconds) and Voila! The key fob was programmed. All the buttons worked perfectly including the remote start button. My new working key fob only cost $26.78. Thanks again for this instructional video!
Yes sir!!! SO glad it may have helped out a little. Hate seeing people get taken for their hard earned money. Thanks for watching
2023 this video is amazing . programming the remote and key was easy as hell. Like this dude video
Thank you so very much. Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching
Thanks for this! With the info you provided and another video that showed how to pop the original key out and install it in the new fob, I now have a new, fully functional key fob for my 2010 Camaro - for less than $20. Great job!
So very glad it helped even if just a little. That is the whole intent of the video. trying to save money and show you too, can do it. Thanks for watching
Absolute gold information on the keys Pete. Great Job
Thank you very much. I had several out there but it was getting hard for people to find the different ones. SO I put them all together. Thanks for watching
I got a key from Amazon for my 2011 v6 Camaro and it worked! Great video 👏🏻
Great to hear! Congrats. Thanks for watching
Thank you so much!! Easiest step by step I have ever encountered!! You saved us almost $400
My pleasure. That is why I made it. To try and help people not get ripped off. Thanks for watching
I got lucky with mine… I have a 2019 Chevy trax that has remote start and by mistake I ordered the fob that does not have the remote start button on it and surprisingly I got it programmed and it works perfectly… merry Christmas happy holidays.
Excellent. Old saying, better lucky then good. LOL....Thanks for watching Congrats
Great informative video!! About every three months I get the recall in the mail....
Hey hey!! Thank you very much. LOL...Yeah they are supposed to do it until you relent or sale the car at which time it will be changed. Thanks for watching
always great info and always well done!
Why thank you so very much. Thanks for watching

@@CamaroTime what does uncut key mean ?
Another great how to video
Thank you very much. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the video. Question : my 2 old key fobs are so worn out that they broke through on the “lock and unlock” buttons. In other words there are holes there now. Can I still program the two new remotes I bought with the old one? This is a 2011 Camaro. Thank you
As long as your car does not have too many stored already, absolutely. The lock buttons have no affect on the programming. Thanks for watching
I still have my switch blades. I have a back up also.
I heard a guy got in a wreck and hurt his knee bc of the switch blade and he sued GM because of the design. That’s just what I heard, not sure if it’s true.
Another great video. Very informative.
It is very possible. People will sue over anything. And I mean anything.... Remember the hot coffee case at McDonalds…...Thanks for watching
Thank you. You saved me a hug headache!!!!!
Excellent. So glad it helped. Thank you for watching
Killing them intros!
Thanks bud
Best advice I can give is make sure you use the on position on the switch. Not the run position. That's the problem I had with a destroyed key (buttons all smashed). Tried and tried and found out I was putting it in the 2nd (run) position
Great tip. Most are supposed to be in the run position. With that said, not all models ar4e exactly the same so this may help them. Thanks for watching
Thanks a lot, had to get key cut. 2 mins to program
Excellent. So glad it could help. Thanks for watching
Does the metal key have anything to do with the programming other than operating the lock? I have two working recall keys but I want to replace the fob only.
not that I am aware of
Great Video.....I didn't see issue answered. I have a 2012 Camaro Convertible. The FOB buttons are broken and the dealer did the mod so I have a external key attached. I bought a new FOB on Amazon and took off the broken FOB and connected the key to the new FOB. I tried taking my other key, insert 3 seconds and then take the new FOB with the external and did 3 seconds but it did not program. Anything else to try?
Thanks!
Sorry to hear that. There are a couple things it could be. 1 the battery. Is it a fresh one and in correctly? Second, do the numbers on the side of the new fob match the old? It is possible yours has too many keys stored in the system and they need to be cleared. Lastly, you may want to try one of the other methods I have listed as well. Thanks for watching
How do I know what's the GM number of my car, mine is a Chevy Cruze 2013, and any button on the key fob (the unlock, lock, trunck and panic button) does not work. Watching your videos you said could be the key fob that I have is not the correct one. How I know what's the GM number for ordering the correct one?
PD: I change the battery of the key fob, programmed the key with one of your methods an all that. My problem is that any button is working.
Thanks for all your videos.
Get your vin number and go by any GM dealer and they can tell you. Thanks for watching
Great information. All these systems are aimed more at scamming the customer out of more money (IMO). Every time they mess with the key locks a new crop of problems begins. I'm lucky enough to have a car old enough to bypass with a resister. Unfortunately the lock mechanisms are junk for my model impala(2004). At least it doesn't have the + key.
I think everything with cars is that way nowadays.....LOL Thanks for watching
Good video do you know if they sale key fob cover for the newer version
Honestly, I have never looked...They probably do though. Thanks for watching
I just had the recall done and now neither of my keyless entry fobs work. Both new keys work, but not the lock/unlock/trunk buttons work. Replaced battery and still no luck. Both fobs are original and worked before I took them in. I’ll call the dealership if need to but trying to easily solve this without losing my car an entire day to the dealership that screwed it up in the first place.
Have you done the rest as explained in the video as if there is no key? Thanks for watching
Hey I’ve always had a key without a fob that has worked my alarm goes off every time I unlock the door .
I just purchased a key from the Chevy dealership how do I program the new key AND transmitter to my 2012 Camaro ?
Use the new key and fob and start at 9:48 in the video
Great video, the only problem with mines is everything works expect the lock button
Sounds like you have the wrong fob. Thanks for watching
I wish you were closer I would come over with the Van load of tools and we would build the "One day Garage" on Video of course.
I'm in!
Heck yeah, I'm down...…...Thanks for watching
I bought new cases and just swapped my blades and thought that I needed to reprogram the lock and unlock functions. I did so with 2 working keys. One is fully functioning and the other only starts the car, no lock/unlock. By chance does using an existing key deprogram the original key used? I'm afraid to use your method 1 in case it deprograms the unlock/lock functions. The key works to unlock the door but then it's disbled for the 10 minutes, then it starts the car. Thanks for any input! And thanjs for you videos! We have a 2012 LS Camaro.
No.....it will not deprogram the key.....I am extremely curious as to how 1 works without any programming???? Did you buy from a GM dealer or online? If online do the letters on the side of the fob match the original? If not, it will not work. If everything is good then try programming it like you have no key at all........Just leave the one in the house......
@@CamaroTime Bought from Amazon and didn't even think to match up numbers but will check tomorrow. Thanks!
Wish this would've been on option on my old charger srt8. 280 bucks for the fab, and 85 to reprogram. At the time there was no aftermarket option.
Yeah. They really stick to us when stuff happens. When I first went looking the dealer wanted what you quoted. Call next city over and asked them. they sold me the new one with the switchblade nonetheless and told me how to program it for like $60. Kicker is, same guy owns both of them. So I will NEVER buy anything from the first one even if I do have to drive the extra 30 minutes. Thanks for watching
That’s awesome
For my 2013 Camaro, i bought a key fob assuming it was coming with the switchblade from one of my dealerships I work at. To my surprise the part salesman told me that gm stopped having the fobs with the keys inside. I was confused cuz I had no clue. So I got the spare key cut by them and have the fob but I can’t even get the fob to connect. The dash just says “Service Theft Deterrent System”. I’m trying to do that 3rd step where u turn the key and let it sit 10 min 3 times. Wasn’t working but I found out I forgot to remove the key. I will attempt another time but maybe u know what to do with this message.
Yeah, they did a second recall on the stupid things. But they still sell them at my local GM dealers for some reason....Yes sir, you have to pull the key each time. Thanks for watching
How do I program the remote? I have recall remote with dangling key got a recall remote replacement but can not program it
First, is it the correct replacement? DO the numbers on the side match the old? If so , swap out the remotes and do it as if you have no key....It will take 30 minutes. Thanks for watching
What if this all don’t work for programming it. My security light goes off within seconds every time but it also comes back up when I put the key in.
It's always going to come back on. But it will go off in seconds after cranking the car. Thanks for watching
Do I need to have the key cut on the fob in order to program the fob?
unless you are going to sit there and hold it up long enough then yes. Thanks for watching
I bought a used 2015 Camaro with a separate key and the flip out key taken out of the fob altogether. One of the buttons fell out of the old fob so I bought a new one off Amazon for like $14, how do I program the new fob but still just keep the detached key (separate/detached key, just need to program a new fob)?
First you need to make certain it is the correct fob. Then many have reported that you need something quick detach like a carabiner. Put just the key in the switch and switch it on for 5 seconds. Remove key, hang from the fob and reinsert and turn on for 5 seconds.......That should work as reported by others. I myself have not tried this., Hope it helps. Thanks for watching
@@CamaroTime I had a handy man around the corner just open the old and new fobs and replace the chips. The trunk button is hard to press but it works 👍
If I have two working keys and fobs but I want to program a extra fob without cutting how can I do that?
If your working keys are danglers instead of the flip ones, you can try taking the working fob off of 1 key. Then insert the working one turn on, wait 3 seconds, switch off and remove. Insert the key with the new fob and do same thing. Then see if it works.....Thanks for watching
I own a 2015 chevy ss sedan, and my car has push start, no key entry. Could I still program my car without an actual key?
I have never done one. But, Almost all smart key fobs have a key in the fob so if the batteries fail you can still drive the car. With that stated here is the process www.programyourremote.com/classified/2015-chevrolet-ss-keyless-entry-remote-fob-smart-key-programming-instructions-listing-8536.aspx#:~:text=The%20vehicle%20must%20be%20off%20and%20all%20of,Center%20%28DIC%29%20displays%20REMOTE%20LEARN%20PENDING%2C%20PLEASE%20WAIT.
So, I did everything in the video. New key works perfectly fine until I open the door and try the new programmed key again. Lights turn on, lock and unlock work, trunk button work, alarm work, but the car will NOT crank. Any suggestions?? Thanks
First time I have heard of that...Let's start at the beginning. Do the numbers on the side of the fob match the old one?
@@CamaroTime no. It doesn’t unfortunately. Why would that be a problem. I just took the computer board out the pod and put it in the new fob. Same remote (computer chip) different shell.
Cool.....I ask because if it was purchased and you did not match the numbers, some of the accessories would not work. Like it would lock and unlock but not start.....Have you tried the section where you completely reset the key and fob? Insert key, switch on, let it sit, switch off and repeat 3 times........I would do that again if you can.
@@CamaroTime thank you. The numbers do not match. I’ve since purchase the correct remote. I’ll keep you posted. I appreciate your time.
I got 1 key but 2 of those remotes. How can I switch the remotes from the original to the new one? Note it's not the switchblade version.
Sorry. but I am a bit confused. So you are saying your old key is the dangle kind? What about the new ones? If the new ones are you can simply heat the old key and pull the blank out of the plastic. Then swap it out in the new fob....Thanks for watching
@@CamaroTime my key is the one that's separate from the remote (the fixed key). My key works and the current remote works. The problem is the button fell off from my current remote so I'm trying to switch remote but not the key. Unless I have too
Take the remotes and put them on separate paper clips. Open up one end on each so it just slides on the end of the key. Put the working one on first, switch car on wait 5 seconds and switch off. Pull key out take off fob. Add new fob and do same thing ...Should work
I have a working key fob but its beat to spit. I have a replacement key fob I just want to program it but continue to use my old key.
So, is the "key" the recall key or is it made into the fob? If it is the recall key, just hang the key from the fob with something very easily removed and do the process. If it is part of the fob, all that holds it in is a small pin. Comes right out and you can swap it over to the new fob. And just program the fob using the 3rd technique for new keys. Thanks for watching
@@CamaroTime it was a recall key, it's separate from remote.
I would try using something like a carabiner to attach the old fob to the key. Insert key, crank it for about 3-5 seconds and shut it off. Pull key out, swap fobs and redo it. New fob should then be programmed
My keyless entry still not working, can you help?
What is going on with it
I had to put a new ECM in mine but the security light does not come on... any suggestions?
Even though the light does not come on try it anyway. Program it as if it were the first time. Thanks for watching
Hey thanks for such a quick response! I appreciate it!
Any time
Hi, can I program just a new key fob without getting the blade cut? I ordered a new key fob with a blank blade because one of my remotes got wet and don’t work. Do I have to get the key cut in order for the key fob to program?
Is the bad remote separate from the key. If so, you can try taking it off and adding the new one. If you have a spare key I would insert that and switch the car on for 5 seconds. Then put this one back in and do the same. It might just work
Camaro Time I have two working keys and one working remote. The other remote is broken. The keys are separate from the remotes. Not the switch blade type. I guess when I bought the car it was after the recall. So your saying to get a working key and attach it to the new Un programmed remote them do on off steps you mentioned?
@@losstok swap the new remote for the broken remote. Then use the working remote and key to switch on the car for 5 seconds. Then, take it out and insert the non working one and switch on for 5 seconds. it should work. May not but it should.
yeah no luck.
@@losstok first a stupid question. Does the new fob have a battery in it? If so, give this one a try after disconnecting the battery over night ruclips.net/video/blZf-TMnQCM/видео.html
What if I have a working key but just need to program the remote (the buttons are bad)?
First, what kind is it? A pre-recall or after recall?
@@CamaroTime precAll
What if I want to program just the transmitter to my already working key
Is it just a key? Or a fob
I have the same question
Most of the time you can just add the fob. But there have been instances where you will just need to get the blank cut and use the fob with the new key blank. If that is the case just insert old key , crank it up and let run for about 5 seconds. Switch it off and remove key. instantly insert new key and crank. Let it run fot 5 seconds and done. If that does not work you will need to do this one ruclips.net/video/blZf-TMnQCM/видео.html
Can you post the link to order the key fob you have please
Hi there. There is no link for the one I have. I purchased at the dealership. But you can order from Ebay or Amazon. Just be sure the FCC numbers on the side match the old one or they will not work. Thank you so much for watching
@@CamaroTime so will they come ready to go like with the grooves
When I purchased my 2013 Camaro back in June, I didn’t come with the key fob. It just came with a regular key so I have no way of using keyless entry remote start set the alarm pop the trunk nothing ! so I bought this key fob off of eBay. The guy says it’s for my car 2013 Chevy Camaro with a two LT package and the RS package. Well a locksmith told me that I don’t actually have to have the key cut. It’s and I can just program the fob that I with out using the key in the fob. use the fob for the keyless entry and all that and I just have to cover the end of the key. I have with aluminum foil on the key i had and put it in the car. Don’t turn the car on just turn it till the dash lights come on and it should tell me when it’s programmed. I’ve did it three times and it’s not working, now I’m wondering if this is the right one. I called the three-way Chevrolet dealership here in Bakersfield. They didn’t wanna give me too much information. They basically wanted me to bring the car down with that key fob but they told me if it’s an aftermarket key fob they won’t cut the key because they’re afraid they’ll mess up their machine and they can get me a key fob and with programming and everything it’s gonna be about $387 Out the door but they’re not charging me to cut a key and that’s free but they have to run my registration and all this baloney, so yeah I was like forget the dealership have you ever heard of what I told you that locksmith said to put tinfoil on the black part of the key turn the key When it’s in the ignition to the lights come on on the dash and then you can program the fob without having to use the key that’s in the fob?
Very interesting. Never heard of the foil. But you would need to know the correct numbers for the fob from a dealership....Mine only charged me $67 for a new fob.......And even told me how to program it........Several things could be wrong with yours. First, does the fob have a battery in it? If so, more than likely it is the wrong one. But if the guy is certain it is right the cars memory could have too many stored in the computer already. You would need to get someone with a scan tool to remove a couple of them........Thanks for watching
@@CamaroTime and to get the correct number for the right fob. They want to charge me $37 and I have to bring them my registration and my ID.
@@CamaroTime well I took my car to that locksmith. They said he knew a trick with a piece of aluminum foil to get the key fob to work and well it didn’t work so I’m gonna end up having to have a key cut in that key fob for it to work.
@@CamaroTime well, the foil trick didn’t work and I took it back to the locksmith and had him try it. He couldn’t get it to work either so I ended up paying 20 bucks to have him cut a key and then I programmed it myself and it works even my remote works, which I was surprised
So I did all the steps and it worked for the lock to come off and now I can turn on my car but my fob buttons don't work still. It's a brand new fob with a dangling key from chevy. I switched out the battery in the fob for a brand new one on my end and it still doesn't work, help please haha but thank you for the informative video though 😁
Did you try the one where you do the hard reset as if you only have the one key? Thanks for watching
@Camaro Time yes, thats the only one I tried because I only have ONE key haha.
@@CamaroTime Chevy said I have to go in and program the fob, no other way 🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for the help! I just got my new keys cut and reprogrammed them thanks to your videos.
Excellent. So very glad they helped. Thanks for watching
@@CamaroTime fbhfbfd
I bought a 2013 Camaro from the auction. It only came with a key and no key fob. So I bought a key fob from the dealer and it came with an uncut key just NOT in the fob. So since I do not have an already programed key fob just a programed key that I can start the car with. How can I program the brand new dealer bought key fob?
Starts at 9:50 in the video. Thanks for watching
@@CamaroTime I gave it a try and it did not work. Does it have to be precisely 10 minuets? I gave an extra 30 seconds to a minute just to be safe 3 times and removed the key at the end of each 11 minuets.
It does not have to be exact. just at least 10 minutes. Does anything on it work?
@@CamaroTime No, the key fob does not work at all. I know I have the correct fob because the dealer required my VIN number to look up the correct one. If the way you describe programming is correct it is like they sold me a fob with a bad battery. I checked and it and it is 2.83 volts remaining on a 3 volt battery. So I know the battery is good. I have it attached to my key ring so if proximity to the ignition switch is needed for signal retention it should have worked. As you know GM sells the key fob without the blade because of peoples knees shutting off the ignition during driving. But I cannot find a single video on how to program this bladeless key fob.
@@ricksteelcustoms3196 same problem here
I have a old key to my old camaro. Can I use dat
Use it for what exactly? Is it for your car?
Camaro Time I want to program it for my new Camaro they’re both 2010s my other one got stolen so I have the old key and I was wondering can I re-program that Kee that’s already cut to my new Camaro
The third step would be great if the horn wasn't going off for me
Sorry. never happened before.......Thanks for watching
Question: How would you program a new fob using a standard key only? My fob doesn't have a blade and stopped working, all I have is a standard key and want to program a new fob, doable??
Yep. Just dangle the key from the fob and use remedy/fix #3 in the video. make sure you have a good charge as it takes a little time to do......Thanks for watching
Where i can cut the key
Because I just have it regular key but I want program remote but I need to cut the key
Call your local ace hardware store or regular hardware stores. many of them cut the keys. Thanks for watching
What about a key fob that has no key but I do have a functioning ignition key
Not certain as to what you are asking. Sorry. Is the key attached to the fob by a loop? Or seperate?
@CamaroTime I have the regular key. I want to program the keyless entry fob/remote to the vehicle. I bought a used camaro and the remote was missing. I have a new remote no key and need it to work with the vehicle.
Then I would do the new key program. Takes 30 minutes.
They lost me when purchasing a bumper to bumper 100,000 warranty, A headlight went out and the dealer tried to charge me $350.00. Well! That's not covered, They said you had to remove the bumper cover. Probably wouldn't even have used a genuine Osram bulb. I called BS, then left vowing never to return. The last three Nissan's I have owned never saw the inside of a garage. I do love my Camaro though!
I used to work at a dealership years ago. There are soo many scams it is crazy. I mean next time you buy a new car. Check the oil. ALWAYS half a quart low. Why? Well, half a quart times how many cars they sell equals how much money saved in oil....And Ford used to be the worst....This was during their quality #1 campaign. You buy a car. They do something real simple like unscrew a bulb or whatever......then you have to bring it in because you are like, I have a warranty and it is new, let them fix it. So they get you right in, no waiting. Fix it double quick. You did not even have time to get cup of coffee out of vending machine. As you sign the paper saying work was completed at no charge they hand you this flier that asks how they did that was postage prepaid......you of course fill it out and send it back in giving them top notch rating.......Everything fine until next time you take it in.......They get slower and slower........Thanks for watching
Mine doesn’t work either way
Sure you have the right fob? Thanks for watching
What up with the audio?
Sorry. These are clips form older videos I put them all into one video. I only had a mono mic at the time. Thanks for watching
Well that didn’t work for my 2014 Chevy Camaro 2SS
Which one? Thanks for watching
@@CamaroTime I purchased a new key and the reprogramming of the key didn’t work. I get a service anti theft message on the instrument cluster
@@joegarcia5875 How did you fix it?
Hey stop using that original key fob set up your using, that is already surprisingly programmed and try actually programming the separate new key and new fob that most dealers are selling. Because your methods don't work.
Actually if you read the other comments it does work. Many have reported so. And also I have other videos showing how to program even if you do not have one. Thanks for watching
