I don't know, but I would guess yes. The write up said I could do it myself but when it arrived, and I went to the website for programming instructions, that's when it said I had to go a dealer or locksmith

I bought mine for a 2008 Acadia and I was able to program mine in under a minute. But the Acadia has a learn new code option. I would think your Tahoe would have that option too.

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

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 :)

Yes it will work as long as your Tahoe has remote start. You will have to program it but it takes less than 3 minutes. The info on how to program it, is in your manual. If you don't have the manual, simply scroll through console options until you see one that says something about remote programming. You literally push a button and it's programmed!

You do not need to go to the dealer to program the remote. You just need to follow the instruction that come with the key to program the key-less and remote functions of the transponder.

Only a dealer or locksmith can program it with the remote and vehicle both present. Call both the dealer and locksmith to compare and get the best price.

You probably can program the key to open the doors but not to start the engine.. You need specialized computer software that only a locksmith or dealer will have.

The only instructions were to have it programmed by an automotive locksmith, not a dealer. I think that says it all.

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 would call a ford dealership to be sure. I own a 2011 f150 and they were able to program this key easy as pie!

I had access to a GM scan tool. You will have to bring it to the dealer to program to fob to your vehicle

The easy way to do it is take the key you bought to the dealership. They will program it for about fifty dollars. Cheapest way to go.

Yes it should work fine. Works with my 07 Tahoe with autostart, and you just need to program both remotes at the same time for them to work. The instructions are pretty simple.

Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle. You will need two keys to perform this programming procedure. *Pleas note: the following procedure only programs the remote buttons. It does not program the key to start the car. You must have the key programmed at a dealer or locksmith. 1. Insert master key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 2. Within 30 seconds: Insert second key into the driver's door lock cylinder and manually lock the driver's door with the second key. 3. Press the LOCK or UNLOCK button 4. After 2 seconds press the LOCK or UNLOCK button again 5. Switch ignition to the OFF position. Programming is now complete, test remote to ensure proper function
