More free DIY programming instructions available at www.ProgramYou...
1. Using the driver's door, turn the key counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds.The Driver Information Center(DIC) displays REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
2. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). The DIC display will again show REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.
3. Repeat Step 2 two additional times. After the third time all previously known transmitters will no longer work with the vehicle. The DIC displays PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN, then press the ENGINE START/STOP button. (You may have to open and close drivers door to see the DIC display). Remaining remote key fobs can be relearned during the next steps. The DIC display should now show READY FOR REMOTE # 1.
4. Place the new smart key fob in the transmitter pocket in the center console .
5. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button. When the transmitter is programmed, the DIC display will show that it is ready to program the next remote key fob.
6. Remove the smart key fob from the transmitter pocket and press unlock or lock on the transmitter.
To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 4-6. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for approximately 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
You saved me at least $200 for a 2nd key. Thank you for this video.
Awesome, glad it helped!
@@PYR-Auto my alarm goes off😩 is there another way
You got one key to work? If you could please respond
@@RunYaBagUp_C I don't own the car but I ordered the key from Amazon, the AC Delco key. I just went step for step what PYR showed. I had no issues when I programmed them.
@@JonnySpectacular damn so that means im going to have to grab another key and what’s so I crazy is I was doing these steps and then locked my key in the car so I’m shit out of luck cause of the holidays 🤦🏽♂️
Omg you posted this a few years ago and saved me today. I changed the remote batteries on this newer car and freaked out when I couldn’t open it. Almost had to call the dealership and pay an arm and a leg just to reprogram it. So thankful! 🙏🏼
Glad it helped
Thank you... 2017 Malibu car went dead out of know where, and after looking and looking, to find away to get her back and on... with your time and respect, I was able to get her on... THANKS...
Glad it helped!
This worked good for my 2017 Chevy Malibu Premier! Took like 40mins to do, wish it was a faster process!!!! I had one transmitter and 2 cut keys. Just bought a transmitter from ebay for about $35, did this process and worked like a charm. Will need to reprogram new and your old key! If not the auto theft deterrent system message will pop up.
I think ur about to be a life saver ima update in 30 mins 😭
My theft deterrent pop out but now my car won’t start is there a bypass or something
As a locksmith i freakin' love your website, thanks a lot for the resource. Yeah I still print out the instructions on some of those toyotas lol
Nice! Glad it helps
well done video ,it can not be explained more easier than the way you did it .thank you for saving a lot of money for who ever ran to a key fob situation (lost or damage) and end by copy what you did ,very kind man wishing you the best in your life sir.
Thank You! Glad it helped
me...I was the one who had the issue saved me a ton of money!! I flexed so hard when I went to pick up my fob! They told me I had to use their software...I went on CZcams and VOILA!!!
Was so easy to program new fob for my Malibu. Thank you for video
You're Welcome! Glad it helped!
Thank you sir! A hiccup at the start for me, but afterwards, worked like a charm! My display lit up on its own at every 10 minutes of the timed parts, too.
Pretty dang simple.
You're Welcome! Yes, it really not that difficult just a bit time consuming
I can’t thank you enough!! I was about to get a panic attack, may all good things come to your life 🌟🙌🏻🙏🏻
You are very welcome! Glad it helped
Update: it works!!!! Everything, I had to hold the unlock button on the remote and the car lock flickered and beeped then the remote 2 popped up
Are you saying this is how you programmed remote two without messing up the original? Thanks
Also, I know the title says up to 2016, but this worked for my 2018 Chevy Malibu fob. 🙏🏼
It worked !!!Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of money from the dealership
You're Welcome!
You're a homie, just got my car back from the body shop and my key was dead. this saved me
Glad it helped
Think you! You saved me some serious coin the dealer ship was talking around $600! for a new key phone and programming! When they charge that much why would they want to make quality vehicles, it's a damn shame
Glad it helped

Really good info that'll save ppl big bucks. I had a 21 y.o. Blazer which used a key for entry and for ignition. Recently bought a 2017 malibu 2 months ago and using a fob and push button start is so strange to me. I've been binging on malibu video's to learn what all the buttons do and all the features. Miss my blazer; life was much simpler. Appreciate you and others making helpful video's. Thanks so much! 👍

How I got the same car and it’s just stuck on learn key pending
Tried now my car won’t start
3 tries later I got two keys programmed now thanks bro
Worked for my 2018 Chevy Malibu LT only thing is when I only did the one new key fob afterwards the service theft deterrent system message came up and the light on so it took me a little bit to go back through but this time I did both my new and old key fob and the message and light went off 👍👍
Yes a 2018 requires at least 2 keys be successfully programmed or the theft deterrent system is triggered
Are u suppose to do both keys at the same time cus I’m in the same situation or ?
Hello thanks for the video by the way. All of the buttons work on the key fob, but the dash still says remote not detected and to put key in transmitter pocket I can lock and unlock doors and even the remote start works but the car for some reason still say key not detected. Do you think I should do it over again?
Trying this this weekend, hopefully it works because the dealership wants like $300!
Did it work?
Good info. Just curious, if I end up needing a new ECU, will this program the key to the new one? Thanks!
Great video! Worked for me. Thank you for helping us out 😊

This was so helpful
Glad it helped!
Great video, procedure seems simple enough.
Got a question for ya - I just bought an '18 Malibu, it came with 1 working fob. So far it seems like there are procedures to follow if you have zero, or two working fobs. I was wondering, is there an option to program a second fob given that I've already got the one working?
Yes you are correct, in your owners manual your will notice those are the only two options for programming procedures. However, you can use this procedure, you just need to reprogram in your working fob. If you look at the steps in the description box, or your owners manual, you will repeat steps 4-6 for each remote.
Worked Great, Thanks!!
You're Welcome!
very good, thank you, one issue is that the trunk button is not responding, God bless you
This whole remote should program in at the same time so there may just be an issue with that button on the fob or the trunk release itself
If i didnt program to fob key and did fob key 2 how do i go back to program 1
Hi
I have a 2016 Chevy Malibu. I have one key fob and the other was stolen by an ex..can I reprogram my key fob using these steps so that the other key fob will no longer work?
Yes, this procedure will erase any fobs previously programmed to the vehicle.
Thanks you very much!
You're welcome!
This is the owner of Chevy Malibu in 2019. I bought a compatible key because I lost one of the two keys. And when I set the key,
Q 1> it recognizes it as number 3. Is there a way to set this key to 1 or 2?
Q2> The door open close button works normally, but the trunk open/close and horn buttons are switched, is there a way to solve this?
Instead of getting a new key cut, could I use the old one but for programming the new
yes
Thank you thank you so much!!!!! 😇
You’re Welcome!
I have a 2016 Chevy malibu stick for n theft deterrent. Can u plz help
Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for the information,
My question, when we finish from the procedure as you mention in your video, THE REMOT WILL WORK COMPLETLY ? as example i can start engine from the remote, i can lock or unlock the vehicle from remote ??
again thanks for the information provided.
God Bless You
Yes - once programmed the remote should function just as the original did.
Hello. Pls help me
What if i dont have a manual key of vehicle? Coz i lost it already and i want buy a new fob key and reprogram it
I seen someone's comments on the bottom and we have the same problem. I have a 2018 Malibu with one programmed remote. Would it work to reprogram the programmed key then program the new key?
Soooo since thats a Cadillac does this actually work the same way for the malibu
yes - this same procedure works on many different GM models
Все Гуд!Спасибо!🙋♂️
Hi, i have 2018 malibu. the battery ran down. after replacement the immo is on the instrument cluster. whats the best way to relearn or reset the immo?
First of all Thanks Bro for that video which helped many people but i would like ask you that if I have already one original key and can I add one more like in that way and save my original key one
Yes and on these years of Malibu if you already have one working key there is actually a shorter procedure you can use to add an additional. We don't have the video for the shorter procedure yet but you can find the text instructions here www.programyourremote.com/classified/malibu-browse-284.aspx
@@PYR-Auto thanks guys, I appreciate you for your support 😃
Will this method work for a 2013 Chevy Malibu? I replaced the key fob case, but using the old cut key, circuit board and battery.
If your Malibu has push button start, it should work
Followed the directions for a 2021 Chevy Malibu. Everything works as shown except that after programming the 1st remote, a message appears that it's ready for Remote 2. It will not allow you to reprogram the same remote, and if you don't have another remote, you will need to press the start stop button for 12 seconds again to exit the programming mode.
Programming a second remote should solve that issue on a 2021
@@PYR-Auto Hi, I was able to get a much lesser price after market 2nd remote, it worked like a charm! Funny thing is, it then asked for a 3rd remote, so the newer model cars are equipped to program more remotes. However, with this message, it did not insist on programming #3, so once I exited the program, I no longer got the message and everything works beautifully!
Thanks so much!
Great! Gad you got it fixed. You can actually have up to 8 remotes programmed to the vehicle.
At first you add just one key, exit programmed mode and work??
@@adilsonalfama2290 Yes, the car asks for the 2nd key every time you start it, just have to exit program mode to start the car. Bit of a pain, so got an after market fob for $25 and it all worked out.
I have tried reprogramming my 2 original fobs but cant seem to to them to program. I get to the last step of putting it in trasmitter pocket , press start 1 time and then it does nothing else. Can you help?
Having the exact same issue did you ever find a solution?
Same issue here, and working fob is not working anymore 😢
Thanks for the video, how does someone get a key cut for that car, do I just walk into the dealership?
yes - go the parts department. You will usually need ID and car registration
Great
Thanks!
I have a 2016 Malibu and I have non remote start remotes for it. Can I do this process with my new remotes with the remote start function?
No - the key fob needs to match the vehicles options
That will work for a 2016 Chevy Malibu LT
I see you’re working on a Cadillac. Will this work for any vehicle?
not just any vehicle but many GM vehicles that have a push button start ignition use this same procedure
Question
My dash isn’t quite the same. I get the messages in this process, but I’m asked if I want to dismiss. I assume that I leave that message up and push the start button anyway?
yes
Where do u go get the key cut at the dealership
the Parts Department
How i can delete, i bought a used car ans want to delete the stored keys, and add a left just one
this procedure will erase all previous remotes
I had 2 keys broke one what are my options? Im just looking to replace the one i broke not looking to go to the dealer to spend $300 Thanks in advance.
Will this work if you're only needing to program (1) remote? We already have (1) working remote. We just need another. Thank you.
Yes. You just need to reprogram your original remote during the procedure as it will be erased. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeats steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one is programmed.
Hy thanks for your time.
Can you use a used one again?
Thanks
No - unless it has been unlocked or "flashed" by someone with the correct equipment. The remote fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed.
I have a 2017 Malibu, will I need two keys to pair for auto theft system to turn off?
Yes
If my original fob doesnt have remote start, could i just buy a fob with remote start and program it like this?
No - the fob need to match your vehicles options
Ok so I’m having a problem I have a 2018 chevy malibu lt and I came across your video after my battery was changed in my key fob. But the problem I’m having is that I only have one keyless entry fob and my dealership doesn’t have another one I’ve programmed one key but it’s saying program key #2 but I don’t have another key is there a way I could just program one key and call it a day?
No - on a 2018 you will need to program a second fob in order to fully exit programming mode
Car says ready for remote 1 but after i press the start button and the unlock button nothing happens it still says ready for remote 1
it sounds like there may be an issue with the key fob if the vehicle is programming mode but will not respond to the fob
If I have one keyfob which step do i follow?
I want to get another keyfob from my friend but she only has one fob. Is it required that i get my second Keyfob key cut?
Do you recommend any places to buy the keyfob from?
Thank you for making this video! Looking forward to your reply.
If you already have one working fob, you can use this procedure you will just need to re-program in your existing fob after your new fob, as it will be erased during the procedure. If you look at the steps in the description box, or your owners manual, you will repeat steps 4-6 for each remote additional remote after the new remote is programmed. You can just use the mechanical key from your existing fob that is already cut.
Where the key transmitter in a chevy malibu where you put the key in the glove compartment
What year Chevy Malibu?
@@PYR-Auto 2019
@@benzobankze5522 on a 2019 Malibu the smart key will go in the center console, like the video shows, however your transmitter pocket will be at the back of the center console instead of the front. If you still can't find it, there is a diagram of the location shown in your owners manual.
Tried this now it seems if I locked the whole vehicle up. Help!!
What can be done if both my keys have been un programed but I’m still able to turn on my car and I don’t have a theft light on
If you're still able to start the car then it sounds like the key or keys are still programmed.
I have a question, is this programming works in Malibu 2019 LS also? And if I will buy a Malibu LT 2019 remote control is it possible to program it to my Malibu 2019 LS so I can use remote start on my Malibu 2019 LS?
This will work on a 2019, however on a 2019 you have to program at least two keys during the procedure. The remote needs to match your vehicles options, the remote start fob will only work if your vehicle is set-up for remote start.
Can I use a FOB from a different vehicle to reprogram for my 2017 Chevy? It is the same. For some reason I received 3 Fobs with my new Equinox. I’ve lost my Fob for my Malibu.
No - these fobs lock to a vehicle once programmed and have to be "flashed" by someone with the correct equipment before they can be programmed again
Hi, I have a 2016 Malibu and I noticed that your video was a Cadillac...
Turning the key 5times did nothing for me...
I am in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada...
Is this why it does not work???
Bob
It is a Cadillac in the video - the same procedure works on many different GM models. Unfortunately this procedure only works on vehicles built for the U.S. market.
Do we need to do the first few steps if we already have a key. We just want to make a spare?
It depends on the year of your Malibu, some only require 1 working to use the shorter add a key procedure but others require 2 working in order to be able to use the shorter procedure. You can check your year here www.programyourremote.com/classified/malibu-browse-284.aspx
I followed these steps, and after I was done I got a message on my dash that said "service theft deterrent system". Can you help with this?
what year is your Malibu?
@@PYR-Auto2021
2018
Is there any reason you can’t use this procedure if you still have one working remote and the second remote has failed?
no - not on these years
I did all the steps. I wanted to know after it says ready for key #1 and you put the fob in the pocket. How long does it take to learn the fob?
After you put the remote in the pocket and press the stop/start button, it should happen pretty much right away
Can you do the same procedure if you need to program a second key?
you can - you just need to reprogram your original remote during the procedure as it will be erased. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one is programmed
Great video! But I got a warning light about the theft protection. Did anyone else got the same light ?
Waiting on a response because my theft deterrent system light came on too.
What year is your Malibu? This video is for the the 2013 - 2016 - if your Malibu is newer than 2016 it is the same procedure but you will need to program at least two fobs during the procedure or else the theft deterrent light will activate. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video, you need to repeat steps 4-6 for each remote after the first remote is programmed
How do you program your second key
If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you repeat steps 4-6 fro the second remote after the first one is programmed
If i only have a 4 button remote but bought a 5 button one will this work? Or do i need the dealership to add anything?
The remote needs to match the vehicles options. If you bought a remote with remote start then the dealership would need to add remote start in order for it to work.
Do you have a video set of instructions for how to program a new, second remote when you still have one remote? I lost one if our 2 remotes and want to buy a second one but it will need to be programed.
You can use this procedure - you will just need to re-program your original remote. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one is programmed.
Hello I'm currently trying to program my key fob day 2. I followed the steps before but I'm guessing I didn't give myself enough time yesterday prior to watching your video. So today it's saying Use transmitter pocket to start. Help? Or do I have to start to all over again?
Hello... I would try just starting over from the beginning.
Did u get any replay?
Hello I need help with my chevy Malibu 2012 (V300) EU version. I have only 1 Recognized transmitter (smartkey, keyless). How Can I program another one ? I put Recognized transmitter into transmitter pocket and then I put new key into key lock cylinder and turn 5 times to left(unlock) but nothing happened on DIC.
Thanks for help
These instructions are only for vehicles built for the U.S. market. Unfortunately I do not have the programming information for vehicles built for use outside of the U.S.
I can do it with two keys. is that I want to have one to carry it around. and another as a copy if I lose the first one.
Yes you can do this with multiple remotes. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for the second remote after the first remote is programmed.
Hello! By doing this will this delete my other remote? I want to program an extra remote and want to make sure that this won’t delete my other programmed one
It will erase it but you can re-program it during the procedure. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one is programmed
My key fob went out I replaced the battery as well and still won’t work for my car I haven’t tried this though does it work the same way ?
Your key fob should not need to be re-programmed after replacing the battery so you may have other issues
When performence the steps, my original keyfob was deleted from memory and the new key doesn't programmed and the process still show pendent. When i open the door with my emergency key the message appear on dasboard "add remote 1" and put new remote in transmitter pocket and press star/ stop nothing happen. Any suggestions? scanned i find this code B3031:00 and B3105:00
They original key fob will need to be reprogrammed during the procedure. If you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat steps 4-6 for your original remote after the new one. If the vehicle shows ready for "remote 1" but does not respond to the remote - there may be an issue with the remote you are trying to use. I would try programming the original remote as Remote 1 to determine that.
how does this work if i dont have my old key ! :/
You would need an automotive locksmith or dealership to cut the new key by code
Hello, what do you think the issue is if when I turn the key 5 times, my car is unresponsive entirely? The dash is off no matter what
Some vehicle only show the message for a few seconds right when the door is opened. You might try just continuing with the procedure on just go off of the time.
Do I need to put the actual key back in the fob or does that not matter??
It wont matter either way for programming.
I have 2019 my car doesn't have the push start button my push start button on the key fob
I have a 2017 Chevy Malibu. I only had one key and fob and I lost it. I have another set coming, will it program okay or do I need a second?
You need to program in at least 2 remotes total
@@PYR-Auto Okay. I got my fob programmed. It works, turns the car off and on, locks and unlocks. Essentially it works like normal. With that being said my dash shows the “service theft deterrent system” . My question is, is it safe to drive in the meantime while I wait for my second fob to get here? Thanks for your help.
@@PYR-Auto Cancel that Lmao. I let it sit and went back out to check on it and it won’t start and the dash prompted “ready for remote 2”.
