FOB Programming

FOB Programming
I've searched a bit on our forum and on the Internet itself, and it appears that we cannot program a remote ourselves on the HHR without taking it to a dealer. Has everyone else come to that conclusion?
Also, they talk about a Tech II tool - is that something a shop might have, or is it GM only? How much does GM charge for this?

Yes you need a Tech II scan tool or the equivalent to program the fobs on the HHR, your best bet is a GM dealer. As for pricing on programming a FOB, some dealers do it for nothing as a customer relations thing, otherwise the going rate seems to be $25-40.

@AJochum, I would have to agree with you about taking the FOB and vehicle to the dealership to have the key FOB programmed with the vehicle. From what I assume this would allow only the fobs that are programmed to the vehicle to work. To me this is a safety measure.
For the pricing information, you will want to contact the dealership or several dealerships to compare pricing.

It seems that they've gone this avenue in the past 3 or 4 years.

@Ajochum, It is my pleasure to be on the forums with all of you. In my personal opinion, I would have to go with your #1 reason of Anti-theft the most, but you could be on to something about helping the dealerships with revenue too. This is just my personal opinion about your point of view.
