It worked!
I just bought a new fob due to a broken key holder (holds the cut metal “shaft” portion in). I was able remove the new uncut shaft and transfer the old cut shaft into the new fob by taking it all apart and tapping the set pin out that was holding the shaft in place. Be very careful as the shaft holder is light metal. I removed the uncut shaft and inserted the old cut key shaft in the new fob and replaced the set pin. Put it all back together and used the owners manual page 2-5 (I think) programming new key. Fortunately I had a spare working key and fob.
Procedure: You put a working key in ignition and turn to the on position (don’t start the car) shut off and take it back out; immediately put the new key in and turn to on position without starting the car. Watch the dash, the warning lights will change when programming is complete (sorry I forget exactly which light, I think it was the seatbelt light went solid red when completed). Take the new key out and try it.
Total cost $25 for the new fob from Amazon. Good luck!
Bought a keyless entry key fob (2-pack) for my 2011 Chevrolet Malibu about 5 years ago and was able to program them myself without any issues. Came online now (5 years later) to remind myself how I programmed it before and everything is saying “dealer or locksmith required”, which I know from personal experience is BS. So, did some tinkering and figured it out. Get in car with key and keyless fob, close all doors, insert key into ignition and turn to On position without starting car (radio/lights will be on), now hold down both lock and unlock buttons on keyless fob until the horn honks twice, then release the keyless fob buttons and turn the key the rest of the way to start the car. You should hear the horn honk twice again and that’s it, programming complete. Hope it’s as easy for you as it was for me! Not sure if they eliminated the self program feature from the newer key fobs or what, but definitely don’t need a dealer or tools for the older ones.
