I just bought a used 2011 Silverado extended cab. It did not come with keyless entry or a key fob to lock and unlock the doors. I contacted the dealership today and they wouldn't even look at it. It's got power windows and locks so they said it already had the computer for it. I just want to know if I can purchase one seperate online and program it myself or what the best way to go about getting keyless entry would be. I called a place locally today and they said they'd do it for $179. Just seemed like a lot to me. I need help and opinions. Thanks.

 

Yeah you can buy and program
Google keyfob your truck looking for FCC I'd
They eBay for cheapest one
Hold down unlock Key on off on off on off door will cycle locks push unlock on fob turn key on and off done
Repeat for more fobs
This was for 99 not sure if its the same for you should be

The body control module has to be programmed with AUO keyless entry option first. This can only be done by dealership . Then you can add keyless entry .
