Lost your key fob or need to program a new one for your 2006 GMC Envoy? Don’t worry, programming your key fob is a straightforward process you can do yourself at home, saving you time and money. This guide provides easy-to-follow instructions to get your remote working in minutes.
Before you begin, make sure you have all the key fobs you intend to use with your vehicle. This programming sequence will erase all previously programmed remotes, so you’ll need to reprogram all of them at once.
Here’s how to program your 2006 GMC Envoy key fob:
-
Prepare Your Vehicle: Ensure all doors of your 2006 GMC Envoy are closed. Insert your key into the ignition, but do not turn it on yet.
-
Initiate Programming Mode: Press and HOLD the UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Do not release the button until instructed in step 4.
-
Cycle the Ignition: While holding the UNLOCK button, quickly turn the ignition key from the OFF position to the ON position and back to OFF twice in rapid succession. “ON” is the position just before you would start the engine.
-
Release Unlock Button and Confirm: Release the UNLOCK button on the door. If you have successfully entered programming mode, the door locks will cycle from LOCK to UNLOCK automatically. This lock cycling indicates that your 2006 GMC Envoy is now ready to learn the new key fob.
Note: If the door locks cycle before you release the UNLOCK button, the programming mode has not been correctly initiated. You will need to repeat steps 1 through 4 carefully. If the locks continue to cycle prematurely, double-check that you are following each step precisely. If issues persist, there might be a malfunction in your vehicle’s keyless entry system.
-
Program the First Key Fob: Take the first key fob you want to program. Simultaneously press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the key fob. Keep holding both buttons until the vehicle responds by cycling the door locks again. This might take up to 5 minutes when programming a new, unprogrammed remote. A remote that has been previously paired might program more quickly.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (If Applicable): If you have more key fobs to program, repeat step 5 for each additional remote.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This action will exit the key fob programming mode.
-
Test Your Remotes: Remove the key from the ignition and test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons to verify that they control the door locks as expected.
