Hi y’all! I have a 2012 Gmc Yukon xl … does anyone! Know where the remote key entry antenna is located?

I have looked all over the net and no answer

if memory serves me correctly it should be on the drivers rear pillar behind the cover, to get to it you have to take the rear hatch trim pieces off first, look for youtube videos on how to fix the rear hvac your going to get to it the same way except on the drivers side.
most of the videos are going to show 00-06 but these are basically the same, there is a hidden screw (on the pillar cover) on ours you will see a little egged shaped cover, pop that off and you will have access to the screw.

Hi .. yeah I look there and nothing .. it shows for Yukon but not Yukon xl… that’s where I’m running into the problem with this antenna..I have tore the whole dash out .. the whole front headliner out the middle console out .. just lost .. Ty

It’s weird .. remote door locks and remote start will not work . The the tire monitor light is also on.. I did see somewhere it’s all tight together. I have had the the key fobs checked and both are good ! Lost

Another diagram that appears to show it near the rear door opening... But still driver's side rear quarterpanel...

It's on the D-Pillar below the speaker, it is called the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver, just like in the diagrams.

it's going to need to be programmed to the vin and learned to the fob's, if you have more than 1 fob they need to all be done at the same time

 

[Mike2012yukonXl]

So I have to take it to the dealer to have it programmed? Yikes lol

 

[Mike2012yukonXl]

Does anyone know of a scan tool that will program my new rke and my key fobs to my Yukon? Or do I have to take it to the dealership? Thanks

After you get the new module programmed to the truck, a reputable local repair shop should be able to do at a much lower price, let them also program your fobs to your new module. Alternately, you could have a local locksmith program your fobs.
