Key Fob Remote for 2010-2019 Chevrolet (KR55WK500733)

We bought this fob for our grand daughter's 2011 Chevy Equinox. It appears identical to the OEM fob in form and function as far as I can tell and we are completely happy with the purchase. Here's what we learned in this process: 1) Many places that cut keys won't do aftermarket fobs unless you buy the fob from them (They don't sell them for anywhere near this cheap, yet they still charge you extra for cutting the key and programming!) 2) We ended up taking ours to a local locksmith shop and they cut the key, programmed the fob, and tested it for less than $30. We were in and out in less than 15 min. 3) Just a note: The locksmith told us that most domestic cars are easy to cut and program, but to be careful on European and luxury cars (especially Mercedes!). Many of them apparently have proprietary programming, which means almost nobody can program the fob except the dealers. I'd consider checking with a locksmith before you buy if there's any question. 4) Since this is for our grand daughter's car, just for security, we've ordered two more. Overall, this was inexpensive and easy. All are working perfectly, and again, we are 100% happy with this purchase.

Follow the directions make sure the fitment is correct. They were awesome. They were great.

These were a great price and worked amazing! Had to get the keys cut at a dealership. It worked for my 2016 chevy trax! Easy to program. And so far has lasted me a while!

New key works after having a locksmith cut key blade. Lock and unlock work. However Remote Start DOES NOT WORK! Not sure why as the original key fob will still remote start from its fob. Only headlamps come on when using the remote start button on the new key fob and no start! Sucks!!!!!! Cheap solution for only starting, locking, and unlocking vehicle. You will have to live without electric start with this new key fob.

The case doesn't stay closed, have to keep snapping it back together. Should have gone with an original Buick fob. Car immobilizer also doesn't want to recognize it every time even after programming it. I have to use the key in the door to turn the light off. I would recommend paying the unfortunate expense of getting a proper one from a dealer and having them program it. The remote start and lock/unlock buttons do work as should though.

Easy to program for a 2016 chevy trax. The center button actually remote starts my car. The body of the key fob is easy to open if you want to try and swap an already cut key for the blank that it comes with. I also tried a two button fob and it worked too but got a refund for it since this one is about as cheap and has remote start.

A great cost effective solution. Worked exactly as expected! After the third round in the programming process, it didn't immediately turn the "lock light" off after 10min, but we just waited an additional 10min and then took the key out for 1 min, and it worked, and all buttons work. (Note: Let it run for 10 min after programming to compete process). Also, *tip* if you have the actual key and it's just that the remote and/or motherboard is damaged, you can take the actual key out without taking fob apart (to avoid damaging it). Locate the small circular pin, where the key and fob connect, and use a small screw driver to release the key part and replace. (Look up: Moving GM key to new Fob or Fix broken switchblade key GM key Fob).

I switched the key only (see photo) and circuit board from my buick encore OEM fob to this one. Pros New, intact buttons Solid housing Lets you reuse your original circuit board (no reprogramming) Much cheaper than dealership replacement Important Notes: This is not a simple shell swap. You must remove your original metal key from its old circular hinge and install it into the new hinge assembly. There's is a way to do this by removing a small pin. The old hinge/button geometry doesn’t fit the new fob’s button opening and prevents the key from opening correctly. The flip-key spring must be pre-wound before closing the case. If you wind it in the wrong direction, the key will spring shut instead of spring open—just rewind it in the opposite direction. Swap in your original circuit board to avoid reprogramming. Definitely find a YouTube tutorial. Of course you can also always just switch the circuit board and have the key cut, but that will cost you more.

easy and cheap
