2012 - 2016 OEM GM Key Fob Flip Blade Replacement & Transmitter Programming (Chevrolet Sonic)

In this repair video we go thru using genuine GM OEM parts and two ways to replace worn out flip key fobs / remote keyless entry transmitters and program them for the Chevrolet Sonic.

The vehicle illustrated is a 2015 Chevrolet Sonic LT sedan but the procedures and OEM part number information is applicable to any Chevrolet Sonic from model year 2012 thru 2016. Some of this information would also be applicable to the Holden Barina as well, which is the branding GM used in the Australia market for this same vehicle.
