About 6-7 months ago my truck started locking and unlocking the doors on the way into work. SOme research suggested a bad battery in the keyfob. I swapped the battery and it was fixed....for a while. A couple days ago I went to an HOA meeting and got out and hit the lock button and it unlocked. The next few times I hit lock it did the same thing. Then it finally locked. I assumed it was ok. The next morning on my way to work it was constantly unlocking the doors. I removed the battery when I got to the parking lot and locked the truck. When I removed the battery, I touched it to the contacts a few times and it unlocked the truck each time. So I tried a new battery when I got home and it was still unlocking the truck without any keys being pressed. It appears that I need a keyfob. I'm finding what look like crappy ones on amazon and the online dealers seem to want over $200. I need to check with my local dealer and see what they charge.
Also, if I find one, is there a way to program them without paying the dealer to do so? |

On a 2015 you can add as many keys as you want, but fobs need to be programed by your dealer unfortunately. I work at a chevy dealer and this has been a point of frustration for many, and a lot of the trucks wont even program keys like they are supposed to.

I work at a chevy dealer and this has been a point of frustration for many, and a lot of the trucks wont even program keys like they are supposed to. That's what I was finding. My dealer said $148 for the fob and roughly $100 to program it. If I'm paying to program one, I'll make them do two. I'm guessing it won't cost much more (if anything). However, I didn't want to spend $400 to get in the truck today. In the meantime I have my wife's keyfob and we can both unlock and lock the truck with our phones in a pinch. Time to trade it in...
