Replacement Key Fob

[NickP]

I lost one of my original key FOBs (transmitter) and the dealer said they are NLA. I see several on EBay but I’d prefer an original over a generic version if possible but moreover I’d like a recommendation on what to buy as a replacement assuming an original isn’t in the cards. Thanks.

When I replaced mine, I searched ebay for the FCC ID on the back of it. I don't recall if mine was new or used, but it is factory. There are sellers that do nothing but key fobs.

What year there are two different remotes. Hit repeat: year make model.....

My truck is a 1996 K1500. Yes, lots of aftermarket options on EBay etc. I’d prefer OG so I’ll look at the back for my FCC ID and search for a match. Thx.

I've got a couple leftover fobs I bought for my 1997 Suburban, originals in good shape. Can dig 'em out if you're interested, don't need much for them.

Edit - here, they were right in top of my cabinet. One has really minor wear, other one looks great. Will sell the pair for $40 shipped (continental US), prefer not to split them up, I don't have a use for them. Never got around to programming them into the truck before I sold it.

You can buy from Richard with confidence. I bought taillights from him, quick, easy, well packaged, and as advertised.
Great guy to deal with.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the 95-96 style fobs and 97+ fobs incompatible? I know they're different styles. Would love to use the pair of 96 fobs I have lying around with my 98 if it's doable

No idea, most of the GMT400's I've had were not keyless-entry equipped. That's why I posted the backs so that OP can compare his FCC ID / GM part #'s to what I have. These matched the #'s on the 1997 Suburban remotes that came with the truck.

Thank you. I’ll check the compatibility and get right back to you. Nick

FWIW, this original fob for my '97 K1500 Suburban is a little different. The Panic button is absent, and instead there's a "Rear 2X" button on the other side that locks/unlocks just the rear barn doors. I seem to remember that one of them also had the panic button, but it's been many years since the factory keyless was operational and I can't seem to find that fob. I imagine the "Rear 2X" button was probably for barn door trucks only.
