Programming Your New 2011 GMC Acadia Key Fob:
Once you have your new 2011 GMC Acadia key fob cut, programming is the next crucial step. Here are the instructions for programming, depending on your situation:
All Keys Lost/Misplaced Programming:
- Insert the newly cut key into the ignition cylinder and turn it to the ON position. The security light will illuminate for approximately 10 minutes.
- Once the security light turns off, immediately turn the ignition to OFF, then back to the ON position. Again, the security light will remain on for another 10 minutes.
- Repeat step 2 one more time. After the security light turns off for the third time, turn the key to OFF and remove it from the ignition.
- Your key is now programmed. Start your 2011 GMC Acadia to test the new key. Note that all previous keys will be erased during this process.
Adding an Extra Key (Requires at Least One Working Key):
- Insert an existing, programmed working key into the ignition.
- Turn the ignition to the ON position for 5 seconds, then turn it back to the OFF position.
- Remove the working key and within 5 seconds, insert the new, cut key into the ignition. Turn it to the ON position for 5 seconds.
- Turn the key to OFF then back to ON. The new key is now programmed. Start your 2011 GMC Acadia to test the newly added key.
Important Considerations:
- Professional Cutting Required: This key must be professionally cut before programming.
- Programming is Essential: Cutting the key alone will not allow your 2011 GMC Acadia to start due to the transponder chip.
- Locksmith Services: For key cutting and potentially programming, consult a local automotive locksmith. We at keyfobx.com do not offer key cutting or programming services directly.
