My head hurts from googling. Too many choices with no mention of them working with non Caddy vehicles.

Haha, I hear that. That's why I ended up getting the one I posted.
Programmed once and it has been working perfectly without issue.

The one in your ebay link is about the price I paid for the chinese junk I got from amazon.

How long has it been working for you?

I used my vin # through gmpartsdirect and that was the fob matched to my vin. That one in particular is listed on eBay has OEM electronics using a new aftermarket housing.

This is the one direct from GM 2007-2014 GM Keyless Entry Transmitter 22951508 | GMPartsDirect.com

Here's the 5-button model also recommended through GM 2007-2014 GM Keyless Entry Transmitter 22951509 | GMPartsDirect.com

I bought it in July 2020. So far so good, no complaints on my end. I'll be ordering another because all my OE ones are pretty much outta commission hah

Any time my friend, glad to help.

Which one are you thinking of getting?
Send GMPartsDirect and email with your vin and they should send you a link with the correct one for your ride.
Then I just google the part number and browse around to find them for less.

Haven't followed through with it yet Tig.

Studying this one. What do you think? No need to sugar coat your response.

(I'm thinking that it's right in the price range and they say that it's OEM) Amazon is easy to return, too.

Gotcha
Haha, I'd go through your vin with any online GM parts source to verify that it is the correct fob for your vehicle. Just to be 100% sure.
I agree, Amazon is easy to deal with, especially for returns.
Otherwise, it looks good to me.

Punched my VIN into the GM Parts site, got their part # but every hit I get in a search for that part number, turns up a fob that has lock unlock horn and trunk lid. Fail!!
I'm going to take a chance on the Amazon part, at least it looks like my fob.

I'll let you know how it works out.

BUMMER!! Just went back to Amazon and the price has jumped to $80.00. Gonna keep my eye on it and hopes the price goes back down.

No big rush, I'm the only driver so I don't realy need the second fob.

Awww, thats stinks.
I was looking at the options from the email they sent me but, they only give two options and they both have the rear hatch and no remote start.
Since there's no rush send them an emailing and ask for the 4 button fob compatible to your vin. See what they say.

I'll keep checking in
