Automotive Keys 2017-2023 GMC / 5-Button Smart Key Vancouver

Five buttons on a GMC fob almost always means lock, unlock, remote start, a rear button for the liftgate or tailgate, and panic. If your fob has those and your GMC starts with a push button, this is the key family you are looking at. It covers a broad span of GMC models from 2017 to 2023, so we check your exact model and year before anything gets programmed. A proximity key never goes into the ignition. The truck senses it in the cab and lets you press start. Tucked into the case is a small metal blade that slides out for the driver's door lock, which is the only mechanical part. We cut that blade to your door so it actually turns when the fob's coin cell gives up in the cold. When the cell is low, GM lets you start the vehicle by placing the fob in a backup pocket, usually in the console or a cupholder; your owner's manual shows where. Programming happens at the vehicle with a diagnostic tool, so the truck has to be present along with your registration and ID. Having one working fob makes adding a spare simpler than starting from zero.
