1997 Buick Century Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy near the Del Sol shopping area in Oxnard. He had just picked up a 1997 Buick Century from a private seller. One key, one remote. The seller told him to get a spare made before something went wrong. Solid advice for once.
He called the local Buick dealer. They wanted him to bring the car in, leave it, and come back the next day. He asked about price and the number made him pause long enough to look up locksmiths instead.
I met him in the parking lot. He handed me the original key and the ABO0204T remote so I could look everything over. The key had a VATS pellet in the blade, which is the resistor chip GM used through the 90s. I measured the resistance with my meter, matched it to pellet number 6 out of the 15 possible values, and cut a new blank with the correct resistor embedded.
Then the remote. The 1997 Century uses a learn mode you can enter through the car itself, holding the lock and unlock on the driver door panel. Paired the new remote, tested all four buttons: lock, unlock, trunk, panic. Ran the key through a full start cycle, let the VATS module accept it, shut down, restarted cold. No issues.
He stood there holding both keys like he was weighing them. Then he just nodded and said "that's it?" That was it. Two working sets, done on site, for a fraction of what the dealer wanted.

“I needed a car key replacement in Hillcrest and EZ Car Keyz helped me immediately. The technician programmed a new smart key right next to my car and tested every function before leaving. Fast, friendly, and very professional.”
“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
