Lost your key fob or need to program a new remote for your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe? Don’t worry, programming your keyless entry remote is a straightforward process you can do yourself at home. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for programming your 2007 Chevy Tahoe remote, saving you time and money compared to dealership programming.
This article covers two methods to program your key fob, depending on whether your Tahoe is equipped with Driver Information Center (DIC) buttons. Follow the instructions that apply to your vehicle to get your remote programmed quickly and easily.
Method 1: Programming Your 2007 Tahoe Remote with Driver Information Center (DIC) Buttons
If your Chevrolet Tahoe has Driver Information Center buttons on the steering wheel, use this method to program your remote.
-
Turn the Ignition to ON: Insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. This is the position right before you would start the engine. This step allows you to access the Driver Information Center.
-
Access Remote Relearn Mode: Press the vehicle information button (usually marked with “INFO” or a car icon) on your steering wheel repeatedly until you see PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY displayed on the Driver Information Center screen.
-
Activate Learning Mode: Once PRESS TO RELEARN REMOTE KEY is displayed, press the set/reset button (often labeled “SET” or “RESET”). The Driver Information Center will then show REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE, indicating that your Tahoe is now in programming mode and ready to learn the new remote.
-
Program the First Remote: Take your first keyless remote that you want to program. Simultaneously press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote for about 15 seconds. After approximately 15 seconds, you will hear a chime. This chime confirms that the remote has been successfully programmed to your 2007 Chevy Tahoe.

Program Additional Remotes (Optional): If you need to program additional remotes, repeat step 4 immediately. You can program up to a maximum of eight remotes for your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe using this procedure.
-
Exit Programming Mode: To exit the remote programming mode, simply turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the ignition.
-
Test Your Remotes: Test all programmed remotes to ensure they are working correctly by pressing the lock and unlock buttons to verify the doors respond.
Method 2: Programming Your 2007 Tahoe Remote Without Driver Information Center (DIC) Buttons
If your 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe does not have Driver Information Center buttons, use this method to program your keyless entry remote.

Enter Relearn Mode: Ensure your vehicle is in Park (P) and the ignition key is in the “ON” position (turned as far as it will go without starting the engine). Press and hold the trip odometer reset stem located on the instrument panel until RELEARN REMOTE KEY is displayed in the instrument cluster.
-
Activate Learning: Continue to press and hold the trip odometer reset stem for approximately three seconds. The message REMOTE KEY LEARNING ACTIVE will appear, signaling that your 2007 Tahoe is now in the remote learning mode.
