This key abs key fob on the 2012 doesn’t feel like it goes with the truck at all. Really just wanna upgrade remotes so the buttons don’t wear out or stick again after aging.

I still use the factory fobs.

Well, one of them was cracked on the back, so I got a replacement shell/button membrane from Dorman and just swapped out the circuit board.

The one on the right is factory, the one on the left is the Dorman replacement shell.

Some people on here have bought an Escalade style fob from some company I can't remember the name (Beach Audio maybe?), which is more rectangle with chrome on the edges. They cost about $50 each and will need to be programmed to the vehicle. 97af9142579d064daf3e2bbdf11990ef.jpg7d0b94422f4a9aee34fb16142b8208b6.jpg

Mine wore out a couple years ago so I replaced them with this that I really like:

i got that key fob soon as I got the truck, but I can tell it won’t last long at all. Can someone post pics of the Escalade keys?

I will most likely upgrade the majority of my truck with Escalade parts. I know some will ask “why didn’t you get an Escalade” lol. I didn’t like the front grill and lights as much as the Tahoe/ Suburban.

Lola only came with one key and fob. I've obtained a second key but would like to get a fob too. Would any particular programming be required for a replacement fob on a 2013 PPV?

For my 2013 Yukon, I had to have the dealer do it. I’ve heard you can do it with a Tech2 though, but I don’t have one.
