April 15th, 2010 at 4:33 pm, Andrew Hughes Says:
1. Close all vehicle doors.
2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Hold down the power UNLOCK button on the driver’s door panel(CENTER FOR US CAMARO OWNERS)-continue to hold
down until instructed to release in step 9.
4. Perform steps 5 through 8 in fairly rapid succession.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the
engine).
6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
9. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The vehicle will lock and unlock
the doors automatically.
10. Hold down the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously until
the door locks and unlocks.
This step may take up to 30 seconds.
11. Repeat step 10 NOW for each additional transmitter (including any existing
transmitters).
12. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position in order to exit the transmitter programming
mode.

This is a general way to reprogram keys. Does not work in the camaro. Easiest way to find out how to program a key fob is to read the manual.

I would also like to know this. + where can I place a order for laser cutting online?
They come precut, when you order you give them your VIN.

Hatter69 when you ordered the other key fob, did you do it from a dealership so it came cut already or what ?
Sorry for being confused on the matter.
No the keys are not cut the same, when you buy them they come precut. You supply them with your VIN.

There are dealers than can cut the key for you. I had mine cut for 20 bux. Took them like 5 minutes.

Jeff, I have a little bit of a different quandary. My 2010 was purchased as a repossession and only came with one key. I was able to order the new fob / laser cut key without any problems and my sales rep at the dealership I've been working with reprogrammed the new fob. I know, so whats the problem. I verified through the originating dealer that car was delivered with two fobs but am worried that the original owner still has that fob. What can I do to ensure the car cannot be accessed by that missing fob?

I had got a new key fob for 40 something online shipped and programmed it with the methods in here. Then got the key cut from a dealer for 10 or 20 bux...can't remember exactly.

I did something similar for my C5 Corvette and Explorer. I think you are doing something wrong if you can't get it programmed.

hmmmmm...sounds like something is wrong with the fob. Do you have new batteries?

You can switch the batteries between the FOBs you have now and see if the one working unlocks the car. That might be quicker than putting batteries in and going through the whole procedure.
