Finally got my second key from GM for the 2007 Tahoe....Anyone have the instructions to program it? the dealer wants the car for 1/2 a day to do it.

 

half day....it only take 5 minutes....i believe u insert ur originally key first and turn it to the second click, but dont not start the vehicle. leave in the on position for like 5-10 seconds and then shut it off....next insert the new key and follow the previous instructions...

 

Well 4 hours later and 1 wife totally pissed off at the service manager later...she now has her key programmed...glad I sent her

She could not believe that 20 minutes of work took these Yahoo's 4 FRICKEN HOURS

 

thats horrible....it only takes 5 minutes or less...talk about customer service...lol...

 

I'd be upset that the service writer didn’t forewarn me of the delay.

Sometimes people expect the dealer to drop everything and complete your seemingly easy task the second that you arrive, when in reality the service centers are forced to prioritize everything and wait for a suitable technician to complete the repair work that he has in his stall at the moment, but they should give you an accurate estimate of how long the repair will take.

In this case the service writer should know this procedure by heart and learn your new key while you wait in less than 1 minute.

Here's the exact proceedure right out of the book:

Adding Keys
Important:

• To initiate, this procedures requires that a learned master key be available.

• A total of 10 master keys or valet keys may be programmed to a single vehicle.

• This procedure adds keys only. The procedure does not erase previously learned keys.

• The keys to be learned must duplicate the mechanical cut of the current key.

• If more than one valet key is to be learned, immediately precede each valet key with a learned master key.


With a previously learned master key, turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Turn OFF the ignition and remove the key.
Within 10 seconds insert the key to be learned. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF. The vehicle has now learned the new key.

 

Not only did we make an appointment 3 days in advance, but they only did the remote and not the key[]

I am glad you posted the programming for the key...I just followed your instructions and it is now complete...
thank you
