      Question programming 2010 Aveo5 LT FOB keys????!!!

      I found out that my original key DOESN'T HAVE A TRANSPONDER IN IT! despite the dealers words who charged me a $108 for a key without programming the remote entry. I want to program it. How can i? how to do such a thing?
      Home Depot (2 of them) and Lowes both said the key wasn't showing a chip.
      but how do i program the entry remote?

      thanks!

      Welcome to "dancing with dealers". Since you were gullible enough to trust their words, you got shafted.

      I want to program it. How can i? how to do such a thing?

      If it's an ordinary key with nothing in it to be programmed, it isn't going to happen.

      You have several options: you can go back to the dealer and demand that they do it, or you can cry pitifully and plead with them to do it. (But there is no way a non-chip key is ever going to be programmed.) So both those options are useless, especially the latter one, which would show you to be even more vulnerable.

      Or you can realize that all car manufacturers and car dealers lie to everyone constantly as part of the way they conduct business, and learn from your bad experience not to trust their words. When dealing with them, get everything in writing.

      OTOH, you could take them to small claims court for misrepresentation of what they sold you - if your time of pursuing it in court is worth less than the $100 you lost...

      Their having to send a lawyer to court to defend them from your small claims action will cost them more than $100.
