I purchased a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban from a competitor but could never get it to work using the same programming procedure you have. I paid considerably less for my remote than the one you offer. Do you think your remote can be programmed for my 2004 suburban. I would like to have a remote if I can buy one that will work.
Thank you

Hey Bob!
Thanks for reaching out to us. There are many counterfeit keyless entry remotes being sold online for a fraction of the price that anyone could sell OEM products. They are often defective and low quality. We are in the process of updating our instructions, so please try the following instructions for your vehicle. If you cannot get your Suburban to enter programming mode (it means that your keyless entry module may be defective), you’ll need to call a local Automotive Locksmith for support. If you can get your vehicle into programming mode and the remote your purchased previously still will not work for you, go ahead and purchase the LHJ011 from us. It’s OEM and guaranteed to work or your money back with our NorthCoast Commitment Customer Guarantee. Please follow up with an email to [email protected] for further assistance.
Take it easy!

I triggered the remote start on my 04 Chevy by accident but have no idea which button sequence I pushed. My last 04 had the same function but that was over 3 years ago and I can’t remember it. I’ve tried the manual and online search, even Chevy.com to no avail. Do you know what the button sequence is?
