How to Program a New Key for the Chevrolet Equinox?

Model: Chevrolet Equinox MK 2 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Key

Programming a new key for the Chevrolet Equinox takes just over 30 minutes but is not difficult to perform. By doing it ourselves, we can save money that we would otherwise spend asking for a new key at a dealership or specialized shop. Here’s how to do it. Get in the vehicle, close the doors, insert the new key into the ignition cylinder, and turn on the instrument panel. Wait 10 minutes, then turn off the ignition, turn it back on, and wait another 10 minutes. Repeat this process one more time, and you will have finished programming the key.
