APDTY 22733524 is a brand-new 5-button keyless entry remote key fob with a built-in self-programmer, for select 2004–2012 GM vehicles whose original fob is GM part number 22733524. It replaces GM 22733524 only, includes a programming tool and instructions, and works only on vehicles that already have a functioning, enabled factory keyless-entry system.
Key Takeaways
- What it is: a complete 5-button remote (with remote-start function) that self-programs using the included tool.
- Critical check: your original fob must be stamped GM 22733524 — this will not work on models with a different factory part number.
- What it won't do: it will not add keyless entry to a vehicle that didn't come with it, and remote-start features require factory remote-start software installed and enabled.
- Fits (verify fob number): select 2004–2012 Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn models — confirm against the APDTY compatibility chart and your original fob.

What is the APDTY 22733524 key fob?
APDTY 22733524 is a complete new 5-button keyless entry remote that replaces GM factory fob part number 22733524. It's designed for models with a remote-start function, and it ships with a self-programming tool and instructions so many owners can program it themselves without a trip to the dealer. It's a full remote assembly — not just a shell — and it only replaces the specific GM 22733524 fob.
How do I confirm APDTY 22733524 will work on my vehicle?
This is the most important check. Turn your original remote over and confirm it is stamped GM part number 22733524. This remote replaces 22733524 only — it will not work on models with a different factory part number, even on the same year/make/model. You also must already have a properly working and enabled factory keyless-entry system. If your vehicle did not come with keyless entry, this remote cannot add it; a dealership would need to determine whether the software can be installed and enabled.

It will not add keyless entry to a vehicle that did not come equipped with it, and remote-start functionality depends on factory remote-start software being installed and enabled.
