    Default key fob programming via efilive?

    Vehicle: 2005 Chevy Equinox LT AWD

    I don't have either key fob as this is a recently purchased used vehicle. Is it possible to avoid the $60 dealer charge for programming? Can EFIlive do it?

    Thanks

    Key fob programming is done with BCM... EFILive only does PCM/ECM/TCM.

    I know with the TrailBlazers all you need to do is follow a simple procedure, no scan tool needed to program a fresh fob to the vehicle.

    Equinox requires a tech 2 to program key fobs. Dealer is you only option unless you have a buddy with one.
