Will this work for older 2006 GMC Savana 2500 Passengers? Mine's a 2009.

Key Tip: Avoid exposing key fobs to water or extreme temperatures
Key Programming
Programming syncs the key's transponder chip with your car's immobilizer system. The process varies by manufacturer but generally involves: 1) authenticating with the car's computer 2) erasing old keys if needed 3) programming new key codes 4) testing functionality.
Key Tip: Keep spare keys in a faraday bag to prevent signal amplification theft
Lost Keys
1) Contact a locksmith who specializes in automotive keys or your dealership 2) Provide proof of ownership (registration, title, ID) 3) They'll either cut new keys by code or reprogram your car's system 4) This is expensive ($200-$800) as the immobilizer may need resetting.
Key Fob Issues
Many cars have a resync procedure: 1) Press lock/unlock buttons while near the car 2) Insert key and turn ignition on/off in a specific pattern 3) Use a sequence of button presses. Check your manual for exact steps - procedures vary widely by manufacturer.
Key Tip: Keep spare keys in a faraday bag to prevent signal amplification theft
Key Fact: Modern transponder keys have been required in all new US vehicles since 1998
