I want to swap mine out because the buttons are worn out .does this need to be programed at the dealer? or will it just work when I plug it in?

I replaced mine that had the buttons worn as well, no programming needed, just plug and play.

Hello! That was the same reason I replaced mine- it worked fine, but the buttons were wearing out. I looked in the service manual and is says that it needs to be programmed, but I installed it and it seems to work fine without any programming. As a side benefit, my vehicle already shows the external temp in the DIC above the gauges, so it does not display it on the HVAC module screen from the factory. After replacing the factory module with the one I bought here, the external temp now shows on the HVAC screen (and still in the DIC). I kinda like it! I suspect that if I were to program the module, it would turn off the feature. Anyways- in my case it worked fine out of the box! Hello!

There is no programming required. Be sure to call your local dealer's Parts Department and confirm the part number you are ordering is compatible with your vehicle. They can look up the correct number with your vehicle identification number.

I installed mine at home and I did not have to reprogram anything.It was plug and play.

Once installed you just need to turn your key to on, dont start it and let it sit for about 5 mins. The unit will go through its learning mode.

you will have to have it programed to the car and if you can't do it yourself the dealer will charge you for it. If your circuit board is ok and you got a real GM controller all you need to do is switch the circuit boards and your good to go. the only problem I had is the rubber has black carbon contacts on the back that wares off so all you need to do is clean off the circuit board contacts and switch the rubber.

You will have to take it to a dealer or auto repair shop that has the programming equipment available. Around $40

This key fob is ready to program and use. You must have a working key fob to program it yourself otherwise you will have to take it to the dealer. Hope this helps :)

Couldnt program. Dealer did it for me, but all for not, fob back to same thing, did not last. Yhe reason is because the chrome metal disc that are glued to the fob pad comes off and moves around. Its back to unlocking my car, trunk and starting it up on its own.

You can look for a the way to program it throw the web, but you'll need a pair of working keys. If you don't have the extra keys, will need for a dealer to program it.

I took mine to a key shop and they couldn't make it work either...it opens the door and that's about it. I had to bite the bullet and purchase their replacement key for about $65 dollars including programing. Still much cheaper than the dealer. Rick p.s. I did purchase a remote fob from Amazon that I was able to program myself, after about six or eight tries.

what i did was....compared mine to the one found on amazon....button placement, shape and make...still way cheaper then dealership and its the dealership is the one that has to program it to your car....so a straight up answer is maybe.....

Once it is programmed, per the instruction in your owners manual and/or what they send you, it works right away. You have to have two working keys to program the third key, if you do not, you may have to take it to a dealer for help. It worked well for me because the key worked but the plastic broke.

you will have to refer to the owners manual and follow the instructions from there. If that does not work you may have to seek dealership help. I was fortunate and had no issues, verfiy the remote you have (original) fcc is number matches the new unit you have.

Yes, itshould work if the original is a five button. No, it does not need to be dealer program assuming your car has Driver Information Center buttons just to the right of your instrument cluster. Push the second button down from top until it says Remote key learn, push check button on bottom, must then hold lock and unlock buttons down until car chirps and must also do redo all other keys that are going to be used in same manner. When completed hit check buttonagain and all should be ready to go.

I replaced mine from Amazon and it worked great for 2 weeks then I got one from the dealer and it works great. Programming is easy, Google it, it sounds silly, but works great.

yes, this will work. if you google search you will find it. it involves removing MALL PGM fuse and turning the key in the ignition in a special way to program the new remote. Local dealer wanted to charge me $175 to do this, and the remote on amazon costs $20. Worth the time spent to do it yourself for sure. Good luck

you should find out if your car requires the chip key. You have to have a key for this to work and program yourself. If you have a key, then it's really simple. If you don't have a key, then you will need to go to the dealer

I took it to a local dealership and they programmed it free. You cannot program it yourself. I called the dealership before I got it and asked how much. They said no charge!!

Dealer has to program. I haven't taken mine in to get programmed yet. From what I understand it is around $100.00.

you need to take it to a dealer and they will program it for you for a small fee
