Why can’t the key in the bumper method be used for this?

Got my 2008 with only one key fob, the original fob it came with. I’d rather get a CTS key fob than pay $200+ for a spare key… so does anyone happen to know what year CTS key fobs will work on our cars? I’ve seen it done before, just not sure which years work.

It is actually the reflector that has fallen off, not the DRL lens so it needs to be opened. And I unfortunately can’t wait a year and drive thousands of miles to have my headlight fixed but thanks.

So if you don’t recommend an oven or heat gun, what do you recommend? Thanks.

Unfortunately my headlight reflector has fallen off into the headlight. Only the way to fix it is by taking off the headlight lens. Just wondering if anyone has successfully done so. I’m assuming it’s a similar process to the tail lights but not certain.

I was able to confirm that it does indeed need to be programmed to the car, and can be done so relatively easily with a tech 2. Same story with the ecm, tcm, etc.

That’s what I’ve been told. Apparently it was some sort of anti theft thing GM did to discourage radio thefts, and requires a dealer to program a new one to your car.

Does anyone happen to know if I can switch a BCM from a base 2006 XLR into another base 2006 XLR and expect it to work? Or will it need to be programmed to the car like the radio for example? TIA

Hey all… I recently got an ‘06, 140k miles, the tail lights were repaired by the previous owner, the only issue is the inner white strip on the passenger side tail light comes on with the running lights (when it should just be the outer strip of lights) other than that they both work perfectly...

Wouldn’t release when I put it in gear, had to go this route. Thank you!

I’m not familiar with these cars, someone set the parking brake, I made it worse thinking you push back down to release but apparently that’s not the case. If anyone has any idea on how to release it, it would be greatly appreciated! This is an ‘06 base.
