Programming Instructions:
You can’t program the 2005 Chevrolet Equinox on your own (unless you have access to a Tech 2 Scan tool) – the only alternatives are to find an automotive locksmith with the right equipment or take your car to an actual Chevrolet Dealer.
NOTE: you will need to take the CAR and ALL THE REMOTES with you as the Chevy dealer or locksmith will have to hook up a computer right to your car and then reprogram all the remote key fobs at once.

Hi Nuttinn, what year is your equinox?

The Remote Guy says
Hi Roman,
I did some digging and unfortunately, you will not be able to program this make/model/year yourself (at least not without a Tech 2Scan tool and they are pretty much only available to Dealers 🙁
So sorry about that, for some vehicle make/models, we repeat the instructions because many car manufacturers often don’t change the pattern. In some cases, particularly with the later model cars, they have different rules for different models.
You will have to take your vehicle to an auto locksmith (be sure to call first and make sure they have the equipment to program your specific key fob) or a dealer to have it programmed. Try the auto locksmith, it may be faster and less expensive.
Again, sorry for the confusion – good luck.
PS – I updated the instructions accordingly.
