Remote entry???

[scooter78]

Hi new to the forum and new Tahoe owner. I recently bought a 96 Hoe 4x4, it did not come with a remote entry key fob, it has all of the bells and whistles but not a remote, i'm wondering if it may be equipped for this but the remote was broken or lost over the years? Is there any way to find out if it is equipped so I can get a remote to program to it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

My 96 has the feature, so yours probably does too. Mine's an LT. You can find fobs on eBay. And programming them is super easy.

yeah mine has all power everything, so i'm thinking it's kind of odd that it wouldn't have had the keyless entry. How do I know which fob i'd need? is it a certain model, i'm thinking it's probably different from the one my wife has on her 04 Yukon xl. What are the steps to program one?

thats the programming instructions for the obs. thats how I did my 99 2dr, I believe its the same for yours.

the back of my key fob reads:
GM16245100-29
CANADA:218101368
model/fccid:abo1502t

Welcome to the forum!

what year did they start installing keyless?

Take a wire and connect pins 4 and 8 on the OBD2 connector. If the locks cycle after a few seconds then you have keyless entry.

IIRC the first year for keyless was 1995. The programming procedure is different for the '95s though.

Installing an aftermarket keyless isn't that hard if you don't have factory keyless.
