2017 Chevrolet Impala Remote Flip Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call one evening from a woman near El Presidio State Historic Park in Santa Barbara. Business trip, only key to her 2017 Impala, and the remote flip key just stopped doing anything. No remote lock, no unlock, push-to-start not responding. She was stuck in the hotel lot with meetings first thing in the morning.

She had already called the Chevy dealer. They told her to get it towed in, said they could look at it the next afternoon. That was going to blow her whole schedule.

I pulled into the lot about forty minutes after she called. Popped the fob open on the hood first, because sometimes it is just the CR2032. Hers was corroded around one contact. But the bigger problem was the transponder had dropped its registration from the BCM. That happens on these tenth-gen Impalas more than GM would probably like to admit.

Connected through the OBD port, ran the security relearn on the body control module, and programmed a fresh OHT01060512 fob with a new HU100 blade cut right in the van. Five buttons, remote start included. Whole thing took about 25 minutes.

She sat on a bench near the hotel entrance the whole time, answering emails on her phone. When I handed her two working keys she just said, "That's it?" Like she had been bracing for something worse.

Way less than the dealer route. And no tow truck involved.
