Product descripton says "Vehicles built after March 25, 2013 will not require the BCM to be re-programmed." yet comments below say they do?

Took the car to my local dealer in Ontario, California. They charged $100 and took about an hour or so. Lights work great. Don't know if the reprogrammed anything.

Maybe some 2013 do not require programming but my 2013 LT did require programming. I also have a 2012 LT that did not need to be programmed. Ask your Dealer if they can verify if you need programing.

I had to have my computer reprogrammed. My son-in-law is my service rep so he worked it out. The people in control of programming for add-ons is not GM but an independent organization. If you need a reprogram due to vehicle service on original factory equipment, you do not have to pay. If you make changes to the vehicle then you have to pay. The best thing to do is find out ahead of time from the dealer if you will need to pay for the reprogram. I bought my Cruze in May 2013 so it is likely is was built before March 25 but I do not know for sure.

It needs to be programmed. I bought it thinking I could just install and be done. I installed, but I couldn't even get out of park. Had to get it programmed at dealer. Works great now. Still saved a bunch from buying direct from dealer. Hope this helps.

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.

As Stephen said, according to their product catalog, for all vehicle model, it only goes up to 2012, but seeing as Chevy did not update their truck until 2014, you should be good. The model you would require if nothing has changed is the VEL17 (if you want a 5th wheel tailgate) or REL17 (if you want regular version).Being a prior tailgate owner, there is definitely room to work with the tailgates as well. They allow for some fine tuning to your specifications and adjustments. The main thing is making sure the latches align correctly and you are provided with the necessary adapters if required. But the best thing is to contact the manufacturer...my guess is they just have not updated the catalog.

I highly doubt it, Unless your looking for codes that will set your MIL, or check engine light. So if the light isn't on, for say a trans slip code, P0700, i would say no. this tool also won't provide data stream, So codes only from the pcm. No bcm tcm abs reading ability.

No, DIY programming instructions are available with the purchase for your make/model/year vehicle. Thank you!

No, everything I found said that you have to take them to your dealer to have them programmed. Which I did and even though the model numbers matched the original FOB, my dealer reported they would not program. BUT I did find out that my original FOBs were covered by the extended warranty, so I have had both the original ones replaced by the dealer for free.Sorry.

No. You have to go to a dealer and they have to do the programming. If your fob's electronics worked, you would only have had to swap out the insides.

Call Discount Keyless at 1-800-308-3775. They should be able to tell you whether it is compatible or not. It has the "+" symbol indicating a transponder key. Each car has different computers, different security codes, etc. I bought a transponder key, then had it cut by a locksmith for $2 and I programmed it myself with their directions (you need to have a functioning key to program the new key). It worked fine. It frustrated the locksmith because he wanted to charge $55 for a replacement key. I purchased key fobs as well. They work extremely well. The only downside is the printing on the keys fades quicker than I would anticipate. Call Discount Keyless at 1-800-308-3775. They should be able to tell you whether it is compatible or not.

The last revision (V 4.07) available for this device will update it through the 2007 model year for GM, Chrysler and Ford. All foreign makes haveno model year information, so I suspect they are just generic codes. There are no newer updates.

I called the factory with this question before I purchased the 2012 version. The answer was "there was a change in software which corrected a few minor issues." The person at the factory did not identify the "issues". He did say that the user would most certainly not notice a difference between the two. My 2012 works just fine with no issues.

Hi Kris;the change over point was 1995!! it depends on when in '95 your car was made; OBD-2 was introduced at some point in '95... if your car has the OBD-1 system, you may very likely have the same problem like me; it just "MAY NOT" even recognize your car, let alone read it... before answering you, I looked at some of the other reports and several of them have the same problems with their pre '95 cars... hope I helped!!regards,Adams

Idk. There should be an option when you order them to determine vehicle compatibility. The only year models that pose a potential issue are the 2007s, as that year GM offered both new and old body styles.

I'm going to say no. I'm in the same boat and was wondering the same thing. It looks like this item only reads some codes, gives some vehicle data, but that's about it. You can't send commands through it (release EPB) or re-program existing functionality (needle sweep on start) of the vehicle. I'll be sticking with the more expensive one out there and know I have something that works. Charge people who want to use it to cover my cost.

yes that module should be reprogram in dealer or if you have the tech2 scanner can reprogram with it, i work with it in a gmc savanne 3500 with problem in trans shift incorrectly and was fixed with new module and reprogram

I looked everywhere online. in the car manual it says you have to have another one programed... had to take it to the dealership. The guy there said they had a frequency generator of some sort that tricks the car in to programing mode
