If you’ve lost your Chevrolet car key, had it stolen, or it’s no longer working, don’t panic. Modern Chevy keys are tied into the vehicle’s immobiliser system and must be programmed correctly — simply cutting a new blade isn’t enough. Whether you drive a Camaro, Colorado, Captiva, or Spark, getting a replacement key requires the right tools, software, and experience.
At Paradise Car Keys, we offer mobile Chevrolet key replacement and programming across the Gold Coast. We bring all the necessary equipment to your location and handle everything on-site — no towing, no dealership delays.
Chevrolet Key Types & Programming Systems
Depending on your model and year, your Chevrolet may use one of the following key types:
- Transponder keys (commonly used in early 2000s models)
- Remote flip keys with lock/unlock and panic buttons
- Smart keys or proximity fobs with push-button start
- Keyless entry remotes integrated with remote start features
Many models use General Motors’ Passlock, Passkey III, or Immobilizer Control Module systems. Programming may require diagnostic access through the OBD port, and some models require immobiliser bypass or code retrieval using specialised equipment.
What’s Required for Key Replacement
To replace and program a new Chevrolet key, we typically require:
- Photo ID and vehicle registration
- Access to the car
- VIN number
- For newer models: in some cases, a working key is required for programming spares
For all-keys-lost situations, we can generate and program a new key even without a spare — including remotes and proximity fobs.
