πŸ”Ή Step-by-Step Guide

βœ… GMC Key Fob Programming Instructions (2000–2006):

  1. Close all doors. Insert key into ignition (don’t turn yet).

  2. Hold down the β€œUnlock” button on the driver’s door β€” do not release.

  3. While holding β€œUnlock,” turn the key to ON then OFF twice (within 10 seconds).

  4. Release the β€œUnlock” button. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm programming mode.

  5. On the first remote, press both β€œLock” and β€œUnlock” buttons at the same time. Hold for about 15 seconds.

    • Locks will cycle to confirm.

  6. Repeat step 5 for additional remotes (up to 4 total).

  7. To exit, turn key to ON, then OFF. Locks will cycle again.

  8. Test each remote.

πŸ”Ή Notes

  • All fobs must be programmed during the same session.

  • Timing is important β€” repeat steps quickly but smoothly.

  • This does not program transponder ignition keys β€” only remotes.

πŸ”Ή Troubleshooting

  • Doors didn’t cycle? Repeat steps more quickly.

  • Only one remote works? You exited programming before finishing all remotes.

  • No luck? Some Canadian or fleet vehicles may require scan tool programming.
