This guide provides straightforward, step-by-step instructions for 2007 Chevy Silverado key fob programming, covering both old and new body styles.
Programming Your 2007 Chevy Silverado Key Fob: Old Body Style
If you have a 2007 Chevy Silverado “Old Body Style”, follow these instructions for key fob programming:
- Ensure all doors of your Chevrolet Silverado are completely closed.
- Insert your key into the ignition.
- Press and hold down the power UNLOCK button located on the driver’s side door panel. Continue holding the unlock button until step 9 instructs you to release it.
- Complete steps 5 through 8 in quick succession.
- Turn the ignition key to the ON position. This is the position right before you would start the engine.
- Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
- Turn the ignition key to the ON position again.
- Turn the ignition key to the OFF position one more time.
- Release the power unlock button on the driver’s door panel. You should hear the vehicle automatically cycle the door locks, locking and then unlocking. This indicates the programming mode is active.
- Immediately press and hold down both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the key fob transmitter simultaneously. Keep holding both buttons until you hear the door locks cycle again (lock and unlock). This step may take up to 30 seconds.
- If you have additional key fobs to program (including any existing remotes you want to continue using), repeat step 10 immediately for each additional transmitter.
- To exit the key fob programming mode, turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2007 Chevy Silverado Key Fob Programming: New Body Style
For 2007 Chevy Silverado “New Body Style” models, the programming procedure varies depending on whether your vehicle is equipped with Driver Information Center (DIC) buttons.
Vehicles With Driver Information Center (DIC) Buttons
If your 2007 Chevy Silverado has Driver Information Center buttons, use this procedure for key fob programming:
- Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON position. This will allow you to access the Driver Information Center displays.
- Use the vehicle information button (often indicated by a car icon or labeled “INFO”) to scroll through the Driver Information Center menu until you see PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY displayed.
- Press the set/reset button (often labeled “SET” or “RESET”, or indicated by a checkmark or reset symbol) until the Driver Information Center display changes to REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE. The vehicle is now in key fob programming mode.
- Take your keyless remote and simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for approximately 15 seconds. You should hear a chime sound, indicating that the key fob has been successfully programmed.
- If you need to program additional key fobs, repeat step 4 immediately for each remote. A maximum of eight key fobs can be programmed to your 2007 Chevy Silverado.
- To exit the programming mode, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key from the ignition. Test each programmed remote to ensure they are working correctly.
Vehicles Without Driver Information Center (DIC) Buttons
If your 2007 Chevy Silverado does not have Driver Information Center buttons, follow these steps for key fob programming:
- Ensure your vehicle is in Park (P) and the ignition key is in the ON position (as far as you can turn it without starting the engine).
- Locate the trip odometer reset stem (the small button you typically press to reset your trip mileage). Press this stem repeatedly until the instrument panel display shows RELEARN REMOTE KEY.
- Press and hold the trip odometer reset stem for approximately three seconds. The display should change to REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE. Your vehicle is now ready to program key fobs.
- Take your first keyless remote and simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for about 15 seconds. A chime should sound to confirm that the remote has been programmed successfully.
- To program additional remotes, repeat step 4 immediately for each new key fob. You can program up to eight remotes for your 2007 Chevy Silverado.
- To exit the programming mode, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and remove the key. Test all programmed remotes to verify proper operation.
By following these instructions, you can easily complete your 2007 Chevy Key Fob Programming and regain full keyless entry functionality for your Chevrolet Silverado.
