Programming Your 2007 Tahoe Key Fob with Driver Information Center (DIC) Buttons
If your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe has Driver Information Center buttons on the steering wheel, use this procedure to program your key fob:
-
Turn the Ignition to ON: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. This position is right before you would start the engine. Ensure you can access the Driver Information Center display.
-
Access Remote Relearn Mode: Press the vehicle information button (usually labeled “INFO” or a car icon) repeatedly until you see the message PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY displayed on the Driver Information Center.
-
Activate Learning Mode: Once PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY is displayed, press the set/reset button (often labeled “SET” or “RESET”) until the Driver Information Center shows REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE. Your vehicle is now in key fob programming mode.
-
Program the First Key Fob: Take your first 2007 Tahoe key fob and simultaneously press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons. Continue holding them for approximately 15 seconds. You should hear a chime sound, indicating that the key fob has been successfully programmed.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional): If you have additional 2007 Chevy Tahoe key fobs to program, repeat step 4 immediately for each additional remote. Your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe can accommodate up to eight key fobs programmed to it.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Test Your Key Fob(s): Test all programmed key fobs to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the lock, unlock, and other function buttons.
Programming Your 2007 Tahoe Key Fob Without Driver Information Center (DIC) Buttons
If your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe does not have Driver Information Center buttons, follow these steps to program your 2007 tahoe key fob:

-
Enter Relearn Mode: Press and hold the trip odometer reset stem located on the instrument panel. Continue holding it until the Driver Information Center (on the odometer display) shows RELEARN REMOTE KEY.
-
Activate Learning Sequence: Press and hold the trip odometer reset stem again for approximately three seconds. The message REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE will appear on the display, indicating your Tahoe is ready to learn the new key fob.
-
Program the First Key Fob: Take your first 2007 Tahoe key fob. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds. A chime will sound to confirm successful programming of the remote.
-
Program Additional Key Fobs (Optional): To program more 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe key fobs, immediately repeat step 4 for each additional remote. You can program up to a maximum of eight remotes using this procedure.
-
Exit Programming Mode and Test: Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove it. Test each programmed 2007 tahoe key fob to verify that the lock, unlock, and any other functions are working as expected.
By following these straightforward steps, you can easily program your 2007 Chevy Tahoe key fob and regain the convenience of keyless entry.
