There are a number of things you can do if you want to change the key fob on your 2017 GMC Yukon XL. This includes changing the battery, adding a new key, or even getting a replacement remote.
Replace the battery
If you’re looking to replace the battery for the 2017 GMC Yukon XL key fob, there are several things you need to know. First, you need to know what type of key you have. For example, if you have a smart key, you’ll need to have the right code.
Another thing you need to know is the year of your vehicle. If your vehicle is older, your GMC dealer may not have a record of your key codes. This is because older vehicles use a traditional key.
Whether you need a key for your car or SUV, a spare is a good idea. You can get a key fob at your local auto parts store. Or you can buy a case online. In either case, it’s a good idea to write down your key’s code. The code will make it easier to find a replacement.
Once you have your new battery, you need to align it correctly. It’s best to start with the positive side facing the back cover.
Get a replacement key
GMC Yukon owners need to know a few things before getting a replacement key fob. Depending on the model of your car, a keyless entry system may be built into the car or it can be programmed by the dealer.
It is a good idea to keep a spare key in the car. This is especially important if your key is lost. A spare key can be used to unlock the car in the case of a lockout. In addition, it can help you fetch a better price on the car when you sell it.
If you have a keyless entry system, it is a good idea to get a replacement key fob. Getting one for your car is a relatively easy process, and it does not require you to take your car to the dealer. Generally, the cost for this service will vary from $50 to $100.
Key fobs can be purchased online or at local hardware stores. They can be found in several different sizes. The most common size is the CR-2032. However, some newer cars come with keyless entry systems built into the doors.
Add a key
A key fob may be an afterthought in your GMC Yukon, but it isn’t impossible. In fact, it’s quite common to find them in the driver’s seat of your XL or Denali. To add one to your vehicle, you’ll first need to clear out some of the clutter in your center console. For a more thorough cleaning, you’ll also need to unplug the radio.
There’s no reason to wait until your key dings before you can get a replacement. First, you’ll need to lift the dash cover on your dashboard. Next, you’ll need to remove the door key. Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to start the scavenger hunt.
You can’t use your new GMC key if it’s in the wrong place. As such, you’ll need to find out where your keys are stored. After you’ve figured out where to put them, you’ll need to remove the key cylinder from the lock.
Once you’ve removed the lock, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the right size battery. The battery on your new key isn’t the tiniest, but it’s not going to be the biggest ole’ either.
