2013 Chevrolet Equinox Remote flip key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Worst case on a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox is an all-keys-lost smart key where another locksmith already attempted the job and left the body control module throwing "service theft deterrent" errors. It happens more than you'd think. A bad programming attempt or a power interruption mid-sequence can lock the BCM into a fault state that makes some locksmiths pack up and tell you to tow it to the dealer.
A customer's car was sitting at a body shop in Carpinteria. The body shop had called another locksmith for a key replacement on his Equinox, that locksmith got a "service theft deterrent" message after a failed programming attempt, and he walked away. The body shop called me.
I brought my ACDP bench tool as backup. I was able to read the body control module's security data directly from the chip when the OBD port was locked out by the previous bad attempt. I pulled the BCM data, cleared the fault, and rebuilt the security handshake from scratch before programming the new key. His smart fob, FCC ID OHT01060512, was a 5-button proximity key. The theft deterrent message cleared once the BCM was reset, and the new fob learned on the first sequence. I showed the body shop team what went wrong so they'd know to warn customers if it ever came up again.
Total job was about an hour and a half, which is longer than normal. His bill was 209. The alternative was a flatbed to the dealer, a multi-day wait, and 423 or more. I carry the bench tools specifically for situations where the first approach hits a wall. The job still got done same-day, on-site.

“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.”
“About 15 minutes after calling, he was already at my home. I had lost my original Ford key and he made and programmed a new one on the spot. Very fast, 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.”
