Questions before you buy
How do I know this fits my car?
Look at the back of your current regular remote, or inside the battery cover. If the part number (21997127, 15186203) or the FCC ID printed there matches the one in the specifications on this page, it’s the right part.
Lost your key, or can’t read it? Type your VIN when you order and we check it before we ship. Your VIN is on your registration, insurance card, or the driver-side bottom of the windshield.
Which condition should I choose?
All conditions do the same job in your car: same buttons, programmed the same way. The difference is how it looks and what it costs.
- OEM New: a genuine factory part from the car maker, never used. The same as the dealer’s, usually for less.
- OEM Refurbished: genuine part, restored and tested by a locksmith, with a new battery. Works and programs just like OEM new. Comes in a logo case when we have one, otherwise a new case without the logo.
- Aftermarket: a new copy built to the same spec, without the car maker’s logo. The lowest price.
Do I need to program it, and how much does that cost?
Yes, a new key or remote has to be programmed to your car before it works. This one has no do-it-yourself sequence: a locksmith or dealer connects a programming tool to the car. Prices vary by area, so call one or two automotive locksmiths for a quote; they are usually cheaper than the dealer.
Will my old keys still work?
Bring every key you want to keep using when the new one is programmed. On many cars programming clears any key that isn’t there at the time.
What if it doesn’t work with my car?
Call us first. Most problems are solved on the phone. If the part doesn’t fit or won’t program to your car, you can return it within 30 days. See our return policy.
How fast will I get it?
In-stock orders placed by 3 pm ET on a business day ship the same day from New Jersey, with tracking. Shipping options and prices are shown at checkout before you pay.

Remote For GMC Cadillac Chevrolet Hummer Pontiac Saturn:
FCC ID: LHJ011
GM Part Numbers: 21997127
Condition: Brand New Aftermarket (No Logo)
Brand: Avicero
GM's current part number is 21997127. Your old remote has one of these discontinued numbers: 15186200, 15186201, 15132197, 15132198, 10377295, 22730827, and 15186203. The FCC ID is LHJ011. GM has remade this remote many times. They originally had memory #1 and #2 remotes. The purpose was for vehicles with seat memory. In reality it was ridiculous because the order that you program them determines which is #1 and #2. The numbers on the back were just for reference. In 2006 GM decided to discontinue using #1 and #2 and they started making un-numbered remotes. GM's current part number for this remote is 21997127. If you go to a GM dealer parts department you will get the new number remote no matter what remote you have now. All the remotes with the part numbers listed above are identical inside and in function so we mix them together.
Programming Procedure:
IMPORTANT: Before entering programming mode, have in possession all of the transmitters you will be using on the vehicle. Once you program the transmitter, all previous codes will be erased from the memory. The other transmitters will not be functional until you program the transmitters again.
1. Close all vehicle doors, windows closed, wait for dome light to go off.
2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Hold down the power UNLOCK button on the driver?? door panel-continue to hold down until instructed to release in step 9.
4. Perform steps 5 through 8 in fairly rapid succession.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the engine).
6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
9. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The vehicle will lock and unlock the doors automatically.
10.Hold down the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously until the door locks and unlocks. This step may take up to 30 seconds.
11.Repeat step 10 for each additional transmitter (including any existing transmitters).
12.Turn the ignition switch to the ON position in order to exit the transmitter programming mode.
