I just bought my first Tahoe, a 2003. It didn't come with a keyless remote. Did the 03's come standard with keyless remotes? If so, is it hard to program one if I get a new one? The used car dealer didn't have a clue. Thanks for any advice.

 

If memory serves me correctly all 2003 Tahoe's with the exception of the (1ST Commercial Pkg) came with Keyless entry, to make certian look at the options code sticker inside the glove box and check it for code "AUO" if you see this code then the truck has the system you just need a couple of fobs (part # 15043458).

Programming Instructions:
1. Close all the vehicle doors.
2. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.
3. Press and hold the door unlock switch.
4. While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
5. Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to confirm the program mode.
6. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of approximately 15 seconds, the doors will lock and unlock to confirm the programming of that transmitter.
7. Repeat the previous step to program up to 4 transmitters.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the keyless entry transmitter programming mode.
9. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
