Keyless entry - not a Duramax question

[JoshH]

So, my sister bought a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer a couple of weeks ago. It didn't come with remotes for the keyless entry, so they bought some online. They had trouble getting them programmed and took it to the dealership. The dealer couldn't get them programmed either and told them they didn't have keyless entry installed.

I realize this isn't even a full size pickup related question, but I'm hoping someone here can answer it for me. What would I have to do to get the factory remotes they bought to work? Is there some module I can install or something that can be reprogrammed with a Tech II?

Are you sure the remotes are the right ones? There are a number of codes for each car model. When I have replaced mine I have always had the old one to get the number off of them.

Also found this for the programming: http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=47196

Yeah Poltergiest is right, you need the correct number key fob, then a Tech II to prgram.

I just had the dealer program a fob for my 2000 silverado, it was one number off ( difference) from my original fob but still worked.

Maybe a trailblazer owner could give you their key fob number.

They bought them on some website that sells them. The ones they bought are what they listed for their vehicle. I did a little checking last night after I made this post and found out if your vehicle doesn't have keyless entry you can get the BCM and lift gate module reprogrammed to get it to work. Sometimes I guess the LGM has to be replaced.

I have never heard of a trailblazer with power locks without keyless. Call the dealer and ask for a price on one and give them your VIN. They can tell you the part no. and if it has keyless option.

Honestly for the price you can get an aftermarket keyless system. The bcm programming isn't expensive but if you have to buy a module and have it programmed in that can be very expensive.

That's the same thing I posted above.

Post the VIN in the VIN area here and when Henry gets to it you'll know if it came with keyless or not.
