2020 Chevy Malibu. I’m standing here stupid. Couldn’t figure out how to open the door to save my life. I called several unreliable people who never answered their phones. Then I googled. I am so happy I found this video. The directions and demonstration were top tier. Thanks!!! BTW….. now everyone is calling back to assist! LOL!
It’s 2024 and I just used this video to open and start my vehicle I have a 2020 Chevy, my key fob died and this video definitely saved me ! Thank you !!!
I guess I need to clean out my center console so I can get quick access to that transmitter pocket. LOL BTW, I keep a spare CR-2032 battery in the center console just in case the battery should go dead in my FOB while I'm out running errands, etc. That way, once the car is started, I can then put a new battery in the FOB. Thanks for posting!
My neighbor's visiting sister came over in distress, rental has a dead battery. Unfortunately the rental place swapped the key blade base with another car's and now they are closed so she is screwed. Thumbs up anyway lol.
Hi. My keys are locked in my 2017 chevy malibu. I have a extra key fob but I've never activated it. Will the key still work or does it have to be cut to fit?
So we thought we had just a bad battery so replaced it. So my husband watched some video and then started trying to unlock the key cylnder 5 times to reprogram the fob, then he was inside the car for awhile. Apparently i messed up whatever he was doing by coming along and opening the passsemger door during this. He gave up out of frustration that I had opened the door and messed up what he was doing. Now I can start my car with the key in the transmitter slot but my dash says the anti-theft device is activated. There is an icon of a lock on the dash. I only have one key to this vehicle. Do you know what I need to do next?
Does it matter what way the key goes in? I accidentally washed my key. It worked the first time I tried it so I drove it to autozone to see if they could help me, and now when I tried again it wouldn’t work.
This the most insanely stupid design I have ever seen. Not only is it impossible to find the door lock without instructions. But I just probably woke up the neighborhood. I then I gotta dig through the center console. Whoever designed this should be fired!!!

Thank you! I have a brand new 2024 Malibu and the key all of the sudden wouldn’t work. You saved me from waiting on AAA.
really great to know, I am getting a battery tomorrow so I don't have to get in the car. Great information that is missed when you buy a new car.

Hi. My keys are locked in my 2017 chevy malibu. I have a extra key fob but I've never activated it. Will the key still work or does it have to be cut to fit?
The emergency key needs to be cut
So can I just put in key fob that fits in that transmitter pocket and it will start or is there like a safety chip ?
No - this only works with a key fob that is already programmed to the vehicle
Can u use another malibu emergemcy key to unlock it incase u locked both dead keys in your car?
no
My 2020 smart key pod will not start my car but it will lock and unlock my other key works fine
So we thought we had just a bad battery so replaced it. So my husband watched some video and then started trying to unlock the key cylnder 5 times to reprogram the fob, then he was inside the car for awhile. Apparently i messed up whatever he was doing by coming along and opening the passsemger door during this. He gave up out of frustration that I had opened the door and messed up what he was doing. Now I can start my car with the key in the transmitter slot but my dash says the anti-theft device is activated. There is an icon of a lock on the dash. I only have one key to this vehicle. Do you know what I need to do next?
Hello. Do u resolve your problem?
How many times can you start the car like this ? Will it continue to work after the first time ?
Yes - there is no limit to how many times this will work
What if the alarm doesn’t go off what do I do ?
What if the battery to the car is dead will the alarm keep going off?
No
Tom Brady is out there thinking where could I found another Taylor Swif so I can go back to football 🏈. 🤷🏻♀️Gigi did it
What if u have the fob n no key how can I get inside the car
Automotive Locksmith
I tried this but my key isn’t unlocking it either
How do you put the cap back on after using the emergency key?
start the right hand side on first then snap it back on
Does it matter what way the key goes in? I accidentally washed my key. It worked the first time I tried it so I drove it to autozone to see if they could help me, and now when I tried again it wouldn’t work.
Yes, the key needs to go in the transmitter pocket as shown in the video
What if I left the key inside the car?
What if you don’t have the key Fob just the key stick?
You still won't be able to start the vehicle without the fob
What happens when everything dies?
is the vehicle battery dead?
👍🙏
What if the alarm won’t stop? Then I’ll be sure to panic even more
Yea seriously my alarm won’t stop this video did not help

This the most insanely stupid design I have ever seen.
Not only is it impossible to find the door lock without instructions.
But I just probably woke up the neighborhood.
I then I gotta dig through the center console.
Whoever designed this should be fired!!!
Such a dumb mechanic. Push to start is ridiculous.
Thank You!!!
