2012 Chevrolet Traverse Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
The OEM versus aftermarket question on 2012 Chevrolet Traverse keys deserves a direct answer. OEM Chevy keys come from GM's supplier with the bowtie logo on the housing and a significant brand markup. Aftermarket keys use the same blade profile, same ID46 chip spec, same button layout, and same circuit board design. The functional difference in daily use is zero if the aftermarket blank is quality sourced.
A customer visiting relatives in Lemon Grove for the holidays asked me straight whether his spare would be "as good as dealer." He had a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse and wanted a key he could trust daily, not just an emergency backup sitting in a drawer. Fair question, and it deserves an honest answer.
I carry aftermarket blanks that I've tested across hundreds of GM jobs. The blade is the same B106 profile cut on my machine. The transponder chip is the correct ID46 generation. His smart fob, FCC ID , was a 3-button proximity key. The aftermarket housing I used has the same button feel, same weight, same snap fit. The difference is no bowtie logo and roughly $150 less in his pocket.
His total was $148 for a quality aftermarket key. Dealer charges $337 for the OEM version. Where aftermarket goes wrong is when a locksmith buys the cheapest blanks available. I test every batch before it goes in the van. If a batch has brittle shells or inconsistent chips, I return it.
