Gm car dealership

Can I take the key fob to a GM Dealership to replace the key fob, which is intermittent at best for the last few days. It took 15 minutes to obtain access to my vehicle this morning. Thanks, Kim

SOURCE: Hi! My name is Sharon

Hi, the key fob has contacts on a circuit board, much like a remote control for a tv, or a calculator. These contacts are what the buttons touch, to make it work. the buttons, or contacts may be dirty, with a carbon film on them causing the two buttons not to work, leaving only 1 functional. If you take it apart, much like putting a new battery in, you can actually pop out the green circuit board, and see the contacts. These can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Try cleaning the contacts, and the back side of the buttons. A re program is not in order, because you have 1 function, and will either work as a whole, or none at all. If cleaning does not work, You may need a new fob. Good luck...coop442000

Testimonial: "Thank you, I did what you have instructed me to do with regard to cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser. All but one still doesn't work. "

I have a Pontiac g5 08 with an automate key fob that is not working on my car.Contacted dealership who said there was nothing they could do cuz it was not a GM key.any information greatly appreciated

if the key was not purchased from the GM dealer but from a locksmith or on line , you may have to have the key fob reprogrammed to the immobilizer in the car
Most locksmiths can do this for you or find a service dealer who is more customer orientated and wants your business
Ring around and see what can be done

I purchased a 2011 Equinox in November & have a problem where the key will not turn the car on. It goes in part way instead of complete entry of the key. Took to a Chevy Dealership & they thought...

I have a similar problem. The key goes in all the electronics turn on but the car does not turn over and start. Dealer says its the security in the key it's been in the shop for 7 days and I still don't have it back yet. I am waiting on a recalled key so I must not be the only one with the problem.

How do you reprogram a key fob for a 2005 Grand Prix? Both of mine stopped working at the same time. Both were checked and are transmitting. Batteries are good.

The fobs need to be programed with a diagnostic scan tool.A GM dealership should be able to do this.It should not take more than 30 minutes.

Keyfob GM Alero 2001 Programmed: How can I get a key fob for my 2001 Olds Alero without spending a crapload of money and avoiding a GM dealership?

You do not have a choice, you must go to a dealership. They have a computer for this prupose and it does not cost much. I usually drive into the service drive through and the shop foreman does this for me in about 5-10 min. and the charge is minimal. The keys are what cost a small fortune.

03 chevy monte carlo radio programming

WOW I think someone is very confused here.
The key fob & radio do not have anything in common. The first thing I would do is go to your local Chevy dealership parts department and give them the complete vehicle identification number. He can look up your vehicle to see if GM build you car with GM factory keyless entry system. If GM buiilt you car with keyless entry you'll need to have the service department program the key fob to the car. (This is not done through the radio, I've work for GM for 30 years, this is not how they built it)
If your radio needs to programed, that is done through the radio. 2 seperate circuits.
Maybe you should look at going to another Chevy store, I don't think the first one the advisor new what he was talking about.
