Easy and uncomplicated!

Very easy to use My only complaint is that they limit the number of uses of the device itself. For me I feel like I paid for it so it should always work as they limit usage. I'm not sure but for me it's like my OBD code reader will only let me read trouble codes 3 times, I wouldn't want it as you can't predict when you will need it and although you won't need it , it's not often that they shouldn't have done it that way, but other than that it did the job and made it very easy.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some little things

Worked great! Best in Anti-Theft

I have a 2013 GMC Sierra and needed to make some keys. I also bought a $100 key maker off eBay and a $15 pair of blank GMC transponder keys. So I spent a total of $200 on this project. That's fine as I will be using the key maker to craft other keys to get my money's worth from this. Went to YouTube and followed the instructions to program the key and remote. Super easy to program. Would definitely recommend this Dorman remote, it is very similar to the original.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Easy to program 3 key fobs for GMC

I have a 2013 GMC Sierra and I needed to replace lost and broken original key fobs. I ordered two from Revain only to find out they had to be programmed by a GM dealer or someone else with the right equipment. I found a video on YouTube about how this programmer works, everything looked easy, so I ordered a programmer and another keychain. Within 10 minutes of receiving the package, I programmed all three fobs. Now I have a programmer. I saved $$$ by doing this simple procedure myself insteadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power

Wonderful. it worked!

DIYers have had mixed results with Dorman auto parts so I was skeptical. Replacing a missing GM key fob with a 2011 GMC Sierra is costly (especially the remote start key fob), not only because of the key fob itself, but also because of the more expensive and time consuming requirement of having the dealer program it. Aside from having to fiddle with the module to connect it to the OBD socket under the dash, it was an easy process. BUT read the instructions carefully. You must be in the truckโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

Skip the locksmith!

I had a different use case - I bought upgrade key fobs from Boost and didn't want to pay a locksmith or dealer to program them. I needed another one anyway so I searched and found this guy. I reprogrammed my original keychain, two new boost keychains, and their companion keychain for less than the cost of going to a retailer to make a single keychain. It took less than five minutes and the instructions are printed on the device. Now I have one, my partner has one, there is a spare in the houseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Works well and is cheaper than locksmith

Good product - works like clockwork. The locksmith wanted $200 to program the remote for my 2011 Silverado - it was a much better deal. Very easy to use. Plug the key into the ODBC port under the steering wheel and follow a few steps with all the remotes you want to use on that vehicle to program them. We have successfully programmed a new remote (from this pack) and reprogrammed my other OEM remote. My only complaints are that it's a bit rushed (you have 15 seconds to start coding) and theโ€ฆ
