In 2007 GMC started to use the Circle Plus transponder on most of its trucks. These transponders have 10 cuts that operate the door and the ignition. Transponder technology were slowly adopted on other models.
In 2010, GM introduced a Remote Flip Key on the Camaro, Cruze and Equinox. This is a high security with a laser cut switch blade that “flips” out of the FOB. Depend on the model and year, the FOB may be a proximity smart key based on the Passive System (E-Z Key).
GMC transponder keys used mainly as an anti-theft technology. The immobilizer configured to accept each unique programmed key by a code. When a key with unmatched code turned in the ignition, the vehicle will not start.
The Passlock III is actually the first transponder used by GM. The chip is located inside the plastic covering of the key. The ignition lock cylinder contain an antenna that reads the transponder data and sends a it to the PCM. If the PCM recognize the code from the key, it will allow the engine to drive. Some higher end models use a key fob instead of metal blade.
GMC uses a simple on-board procedure to add keys using one already programmed key. First you need to have a blank key or buy cut key online. Once you have the key in hand, follow to following instruction to program a dublicate key yourself.
Following are the list of GMC models that use transponders:
GMC use a very simple technique to duplicate keys. All you need is one existing programmed key and a new blank transponder key and follow the instruction below:
Using the VIN and proof of ownership, a locksmith or the dealer can duplicate a new key.
There is also a way to clone the key chip value to a blank read/write chip key. This usually done by a locksmith or the dealer using a dedicated programmers and tools.
If you lost all your keys to a GMC that made before 2007, your key has no chip. All you need to do is to go to the dealer or to a locksmith store with the VIN and cut a new key.
This process is quite simple and should cost less than a 100$ in most cases.
One exception to the above is if the ignition changed and is not in sync with the VIN. In this case a locksmith need to replace the ignition again or to make a new key. This done by reading the key grooves inside the ignition cylinder. This process is more complex and requires a locksmith with the right machine and experience.
If you GMC made in 2007, your key probably uses a transponder chip. When losing all the keys to an transponder immobilized GMC, the ECU reprogrammed to accept a new key. For this, the car towed to the dealership or to use the service of a mobile locksmith who will come out to you.
