Has anyone used the XTool D7 for key programming on Yukons? I have a 2012 Yukon XL Denali that I am trying trying to program a key for. This is one of the years after the switch to no longer be able to do it natively in the truck. I was able to program the remote (with buttons), but I cannot find an option to add a key without redoing all keys. The even weirder part is that I have to choose the standard "Yukon" setting and not the XL or Denali setting to even get to the oton to replace all keys.

Has anyone else had this issue with the XTool D7?

you don't need a tool
you stick a working key in, turn it to run, turn to off, remove key
insert next key within 10 seconds and repeat steps above for each key up to 4 keys
doing this will remove any previously programmed key, so do them all at the same time back to back.

If you have no working key then you have to start with a 30 minute relearn to learn the 1st key 3X10 minute learns key in run position for 10 minutes turn to off, return to run x3, then follow the steps above for additional keys

If the process described by @Doubeleive does not work for you, take the keys and the truck to a local locksmith, and they will set you right for about $25.

Amazing! That worked great, thanks! I thought they switched the process for post 10' years, so I didn't even think to try your approach initially.
