Lost a FOB to the wife's Tahoe, advised from a GON member to order off Amazon, got one for cheap, carried to Battery Plus to get programmed and he was not successful, now I've got to carry to a dealer.
Autozone will change them out for the price of the battery. It's not rocket science.
I went to Batteries Plus. They change right on the spot for purchasing The battery. I also got an extra FOB from them and it took about a week to get. That was only like 169.00 vs the dealer wanting close to 600.00 because they said factory had to create the key and FOB.
When they got it i would have to bring the car in for it to be programmed. They guy a batteries Plus just went out to the car and synced it at no extra charge. They also give you lifetime battery replacement for FOB.
When I bought my last car which is a Honda passport, The salesman I delt with showed me how to open up fob and change battery as part of showing me how to operate the car with all the modern stuff it has. Just take out key and use it to pry the fob open, very simple.

Many full service locksmiths will provide vehicle key and fob services for a fraction of the cost of the stealership as well.
That's probably my bad... sorry about that, it worked for my truck and others that I've made the recommendation to.
Some fobs do have youtube tutorials on how to turn the key so many times in the ignition and then push a button sequence to pair the fob to the car's computer.
I think it had more to do with the Battery Plus employee . . .
That's highly likely. The dude that did mine was a manager and seemed very sharp. It took him 3 attempts to get the fob programmed but he kept at it and got it done. The machine glitched and scrwed up cutting the hidden key and he discounted the work for the cost of a replacement fob to get a new key and cut it without further charge. Very good experience at the kennesaw location.
Followed some really easy steps on You Tube and got the new FOB programmed in about 30+ minutes.
