Automotive Keys 2008-2014 Chevrolet Transponder Key Vancouver

Before remote head keys became common on GM vehicles, many Chevrolets left the factory with a plain plastic head key and a separate remote fob, and this is that key. From the outside it looks basic, but the head hides a transponder chip that the immobiliser reads at the ignition. If that chip is not recognised, the engine will crank or start briefly and then shut off, or not start at all, which is how people usually discover that a hardware store copy does not work. We cut the blade to your car and program the chip to the vehicle. Programming happens at the car, at our shop or on a mobile call, and needs the registration and ID of the owner. Your separate remote fob is unaffected by this; if you also need a new fob, that is a separate item. A good reason to get one now is if you are down to a single key. Making a copy from a working key is a smaller job than recovering after the last one is lost. The compatibility tab lists models and years; ask us to confirm for your specific Chevrolet.
