2019 Chevrolet Impala
On-Location Key Service in Santa Barbara County

Q: What is a remote flip key?

A remote flip key is the type of key your 2019 Chevrolet Impala uses. It contains a programmed chip that communicates with your vehicle theft deterrent system to verify it is an authorized key before the engine will start. It also has 5 buttons for remote lock, unlock, and other functions depending on your trim level. Without proper programming and security relearn, even a perfectly cut key will not start your Chevrolet.

Q: Why does the dealer take so long on Chevrolet keys?

Multiple factors stack up. The fob may need to be ordered if it is not in stock. The vehicle has to be in the service bay for programming. GM security relearn procedures have mandatory wait cycles built into the system, with 30-minute cycles on older Passlock platforms and 12-minute cycles on newer smart key systems. Dealers also charge for online security access through GM ACDelco TDS, which they bill as diagnostic labor. One owner was quoted 2 hours. The work took 30 minutes. We cut all of that out and do the job at your vehicle.

Q: What is the FCC ID for the 2019 Chevrolet Impala key?

The FCC ID is OHT01060512, OHT05918179. This is the identifier printed on the back of your key fob that tells us exactly which key your vehicle requires. It ensures we match the correct blank, chip frequency, and remote protocol so the key programs correctly on the first attempt. Having this number ready when you call speeds up the process and confirms we are bringing the right key to your location.

Q: Is same-day service available for all-keys-lost?

Yes, for most Chevrolet models. We carry common Chevy key blanks on our truck and have the GM programming tools to handle most all-keys-lost situations the same day you call. The full AKL process on older GM systems includes a mandatory 30-minute security relearn. On newer 2021-plus smart key platforms, we work through a 12-minute security access cycle, then program at least two keys as GM requires. Total on-site time for AKL typically runs 30 to 60 minutes. Dealers cannot do same-day AKL when fobs need to be ordered.

2019 Chevrolet Impala Remote flip key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a professional stuck in a parking garage downtown in Santa Barbara. He had back-to-back meetings and his 2019 Chevrolet Impala key had stopped turning in the ignition. Worn wafers. He couldn't leave work, couldn't get the truck towed from a downtown garage during business hours, and couldn't wait until the weekend. He sounded pretty stressed when he described the situation.

The dealer route would have meant calling, scheduling days out, arranging a tow, sitting in a waiting room, and paying 366 plus whatever the tow ran. Half his day gone for one key.

I drove to his garage during his break. I used my B111 Lishi to decode the lock and verify the mechanical issue, then programmed a fresh key through OBD. His transponder key, FCC ID OHT01060512, had the standard B111 blade and ID46 chip that I stock daily. I gave him a spare too so he'd have a backup in the glovebox.

He walked back to his car after his next meeting with two working keys at 173 total. The dealer wanted 366 plus a tow from a downtown garage. His truck never left the parking spot and his total time out of the workday was zero.

Chevrolet Impala Timing and Availability FAQ

Money questions, straight answers

How long does the Chevrolet dealer take for key replacement?▼

Longer than you would think. Dealers may quote up to 2 hours of shop time for key programming, but the actual work finishes in about 30 minutes when the vehicle is in the bay. A former dealership consultant confirmed the job typically pays 0.5 hours of labor. The bigger delay is parts. If the dealer needs to order a fob, owners report waiting days, weeks, or in some cases months to get a second key after a vehicle purchase. Add all that up and you can easily be without your Chevy for a week or more.
