I have no idea, because my chip wa not broken only the case was.. I know they can do it at a Delership but it cost a chunk of change...

google your car make and model and the number on the back of the remote. there are more ways than one to do this. if you can't get it at all, call around for a key smith, or lock smith. they can do the same thing the dealer can do and charge you much less. gl

I have a 2011 Impala. My remote could only be programmed by a dealer. I didn't want to pay the extra money it would have cost. I returned to amazon for a refund.

Programming information came with the remote, there also was a website included with the instructions. I went to the website and followed the instructions, my Impala has the information center console so it was super easy. Hope that helps.

Your 2007 Chevy Impala should have four buttons arranged vertically between the instrument panel and the radio, just to the right of the steering wheel. Let's number the buttons 1, 2, 3, and 4, with button 1 on top. Button 1 looks like a car moving down the road toward a vanishing horizon. Button 2 has an image of a car with the letter 'i' next to it. Button 4 is the 'checkmark' button. Place your key in the ignition switch and turn it to the ON position, but do not start the car. The dashboard display should light up. Press Button 2 as many times as it takes to cycle it around to where it says: "Press checkmark to Relearn Remote Key". Now, press Button 4 and follow the instructions displayed on the instrument panel. When I did this to program a new remote, I found that the other remote would no longer work because I had left it in the house to avoid confusing the car's computer. However, I found that I needed to have both remotes in the car with me and Relearn both of them during the same session. You relearn one remote, then relearn the other remote, then turn off the key.

I don't still have original instructios that came with the FOB...agree with Loves Chows below. Vender can provide programming instructions the specific vehicle.

I don't know, but reading a search on the internet seems to indicate the remote fob must be programmed by a dealer, any GM dealer should have the tech2 unit to do the programming.

I programmed our 08 Impreza on the 2nd try in under 15 minutes - Not sure why some say new models can't be programmed by users; I did mine. It may be best to try it while the company is open in case you need to have them walk you through the procedure.

This is kind of an older question, but my response may help future potential buyers of this item. Check to see if your vehicle is covered in the big GM ignition recall. Mine died today and I came here after I got towed home to buy a new switch and cylinder; however, I have found that my 2000 Impala is in the recall so I will have the dealer pay for the switch, cylinder, labor, and tow :)

I believe you have to take it to a dealer to be programmed. I googled how to do it and it wasn't working so that's what I did. Costed 40 bucks.

As far as i know it should work. I had an 07 and programming took 5 minutes. No extra wiring needed.

A 2011 Toyota sienna needs to be programmed by a locksmith which I am.. The books show self programming. That is not correct

Hey Robert, you need Data Transponder which you can buy from amazon also, or you can go to your local shop who will do the installation, he will tell you what else is needed. It better if you go to the shop, because sometime it varies with the car.I did all the work myself, so I had some other small/minor things in my garage which I used to improvise the installation. If you have not done anything like this before, then I would recommend go to someone who do this kind of work full time and you know this kind of stuff, then you will be ok, its just little time consuming.

Look for one that says it is for a 2012 Impala, I wouldn't assume this one would work. It doesn't say it will work with the Impala so most likely it doesn't.

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.

I'm not 100% sure but I think there are ways to wire it up without this. The idatalink just make it easier. Jump on idatalink's website and you can put in your car's information and check. Also this unit has to be programmed specifically for your car type. And you might want to order it preprogrammed from the manufacturer for your car. Otherwise you'd have to take it somewhere to get programmed and you might get charged.

For free manufacturer programming requirements please go to http://keylessremotes4u.net/programming.php Some remotes and vehicles require diagnostic programming and you would need to visit your local dealer or locksmith.

The one I bought could not be programed by me. There are some that you can program yourself but the one I bought could not. It cost me about $30 at the Chevy dealership to program it.

As far as I know ,yes...but if I were you, I would go to your local Chevy dealership to have it programed.

Instructions are in the documents that came with the vehicle. There's an alarm book that tells you how to program it. Check on the internet, Civic forums should have info too.
