Frequently asked questions
How do I find the right GMC key fob by VIN?
Enter your VIN in the VIN Key Finder to confirm the year, model and trim, then compare the FCC ID and part number of the listed fobs with the ones on your current GMC key.
Where is the FCC ID on a GMC key?
On the back of the fob or inside under the battery cover. See our guide on finding an FCC ID.
Do I need a dealer to program a GMC key?
Not always. Many automotive locksmiths can cut and program GMC keys. Ask the shop to confirm your exact model year before you buy a fob.
How much does a GMC replacement key fob cost?
It depends on the key type (basic remote, remote head key or smart key), the model year and where you buy it. A fob bought online and programmed by a locksmith usually costs less than one ordered through a dealer. Our cost guide explains what drives the price.
Can I get a GMC key made from the VIN?
A dealer can look up the original key code from your VIN after verifying ownership. For a replacement fob, use the VIN to confirm your exact vehicle, then match the FCC ID and part number.
