More free DIY programming instructions available at www.ProgramYourRemote.com
1. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock cylinder on the driver door handle; then turn the key counterclockwise, to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds.The Driver Information Center(DIC) displays REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
2. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). The DIC display will again show REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
3. Repeat Step 2 two additional times. After the third time all previously known transmitters will no longer work with the vehicle. The DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). Remaining remote key fobs can be relearned during the next steps. The DIC display should now show READY FOR REMOTE # 1.
4. Place the new smart key fob in the cupholder .
5. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button. When the transmitter is learned, the DIC display will show that it is ready to program the next remote key fob.
6. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter pocket and press unlock or lock on the transmitter.
To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 4-6. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for approximately 12 seconds to exit programming mode.

Worked like a charm! I bought a used 2017 Chevy Cruze LT with just one working fob and cut key. Bought another one (uncut) via Amazon and programmed both of them using your instructions and it worked seamlessly! Thanks for your help !!!

Hello, can you please provide the Amazon link for the keyfob? Thanks.
This procedure worked perfectly! I had one operational smart key and bought a genuine gm from ebay, did this procedure, making sure the blank smart key got programmed first, and both work fine...
THANK YOU SO MUCH! 2014 Chevy Cruze LT with push-to-start and a flip key fob. My only key randomly reprogrammed itself (still not sure how I accidentally made that happen) and the Chevy dealership was no help on the phone - they told me I'd have to tow it to them. My key fob had a live battery, was able to lock and unlock doors from a close distance, but was not turning the car on. Took about 40min of fumbling around but this video helped me fix it on my own and get un-stranded.

Tonight both original key fobs on my wife’s 2018 Cruze stopped working(tried new batteries and everything).I Can use the Chevy app to open the car and can start it with key fob in front cupholder. If I follow these instructions can you place both original fobs in the cupholder so it does both at the same time? Or can you only reprogram one at a time? My manual says it doesn’t apply for Canada. Is there any harm in trying?
@PYR-Auto
4 жыл бұрын
You can only program one at a time. If you look at the steps in the description box for the video, you repeat steps 4-6 for each remote, after the first remote is programmed. However, the manual is correct that these are only for US market vehicles. I'm honestly not sure if there is any harm in trying, I think that you probably wont even be able to get the vehicle into programming mode.
I got stranded at a gas station watch this whole video and my car started thank you so much. I was so pissed the car did not want to start.

Yes - this procedure will erase all fobs that are currently programmed so you will have to re-program them both. You will need to start the procedure with both fobs far enough away from the vehicle so they cannot be read. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for the second remote after the first one is programmed.
