Keyless Entry Remotes & Fobs for GMC Terrain

GMC Terrain Car and Truck Keyless Entry Remotes and Fobs

Keyless entry remotes and fobs are used to make it easier for you to lock and unlock your car. Choosing the right key fob will make it easier for you to get what you want. With a wide variety of options, you will be able to find the keyless entry remote and fob for your GMC Terrain.

Keyless entry remotes work by using radio frequencies. The remote communicates with a receiving unit thats inside the vehicle. When you use the remote, it will tell the receiving unit what button you have pressed in order to complete the action, such as locking or unlocking the doors. Buying a replacement remote will only work if you already have a receiving unit installed.

There are various features on the key fobs based on what you have installed in your Terrain, such as the following:

• Lock/unlock
• Lift gate open/close
• Remote start
• Retractable key

A key fob is programmed in a relatively simple way. In most instances, you need to be inside the vehicle when youre doing the programming. You will follow instructions on the sequence of buttons to press. This will allow you to create a sync between the remote and the receiving unit in the vehicle. If your fob has a key blank attached to it, this will need to be ground to fit your lock cylinder, too.

The batteries will fail after some time of use in a keyless entry remote. Its one of the most common reasons for a remote not working. Most key fobs will take a button cell battery. You will want to check the owners manual for the exact battery that will fit.
