If you have lost your keys, or have just bought a new car, you will need to program a new keyless remote. There are three broad categories when it comes to GM keyless remotes: pre-2007, 2007–10 with VIC, and 2007 – 10 without VIC. If your car is a GM post-2010 model, you should contact your nearest car care professional. After 2011, most GM models have already synced transmitters that come with the car when you buy it. Once you determine which category your car fits in, programming a keyless remote becomes a very easy process, only involving a few quick steps. Set aside a few minutes of your time, and you will never have to use an old-fashioned key again!
