In the past, I had a 2013 Tahoe PPV. I bought extra keyfobs for it and was able to program them myself using the button for the trip meter since the PPV did not come with the DIC.

Now I have a 2014 LT with the DIC. I have a working key fob, but the area on it where the keyring goes through is broken so I cant put it on a key ring. Is it still possible to self program fobs for 2014s. I would find it strange that I could do a 2013 and not a 2014.

If worst comes to worst, i guess i could transplant the insides of my current fob into a new housing.

I had no idea there was a way to do it program fobs with the tripmeter!
I don't think it's in the DIC options, so I would try the same method you did before.

If you swap cases, the dorman case is not as good as OEM, definately stick with OEM.

i have been doing some digging for info, it looks like the ability to self program fobs was removed for 2011 and up, but some vehicles that were "fleet" vehicles still had it. Which would explain how I was able to program the fobs for the 2013 since it was a PPV and was probably considered Fleet.

I'll need to check the menus in the 2014, but will probably need to purchase an external programmer like I did with my 2019 Grand Caravan

btdieselworks autosync will do it. I used one to program my 2012.
It's a great device that has lots of other features.
