08-09 G8, 11-13 PPV Key Fob Programming:

  2. Navigate to the “Customize Options” and hit enter with the left scroll wheel.

  3. Scroll down to “Remote Key” and hit enter.

  4. Select “Program”.

08-09 G8, 11-13 PPV Immobilizer Key Programming:

  1. With a previously learned key turn the ignition to the “ON” position and start the engine.

  2. Shut the vehicle off and within 10 seconds insert the new key and turn it to the “ON” position with the engine off.

  3. The vehicle has now learned the new key.

  4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 for as many new keys that need to be learned.

    NOTE: Existing keys that have been already learned do NOT need to be relearned. This step is to only add NEW keys to the TDM.
    It is also important to note that VE Series Commodores can only learn 10 keys to the TDM. If you are presented with the words “Engine Immobilized” on the DIC after learning the new key(s) you have crossed the 10 spot threshold. In order to correct this you will need a Tech2 Diagnostic Tool to clear the TDMs “Cache”. This service can be completed by a local GM dealer or any repair center with a Tech2. Currently there is no way to tell how many existing keys have already been learned to the TDM.
