Professional Programming and Key Cutting Required
Please note that this 2016 Chevy Equinox key fob requires professional programming to synchronize with your vehicle’s immobilizer system. This programming is not something you can do at home and must be performed by a qualified professional. You have two primary options for programming your new key fob:
- Your Local Chevrolet Dealer: Dealerships have the necessary equipment and expertise to program OEM key fobs. While this is a reliable option, it may be the more expensive route.
- Automotive Locksmith: A local automotive locksmith is often a more cost-effective and equally capable alternative to dealerships. Many locksmiths specialize in car key programming and can come to your location for added convenience. You can use online locksmith search tools to find a qualified professional in your area.
In addition to programming, the included key blank will also need to be cut to match your vehicle’s ignition. Both dealerships and automotive locksmiths can handle key cutting services. We do not offer key cutting or programming services at our facility; our expertise lies in providing genuine OEM replacement remotes.
