🔧 PRO TIP
The 1998 GMC Jimmy shares its platform with the Chevy S-10 Blazer, so every key part crosses over. The KOBUT1BT remote (part number 15732805) is a standalone remote only. It locks, unlocks, triggers panic, and pops the hatch, but it has no transponder chip inside. The actual ignition key on the second-gen Jimmy is a plain mechanical cut, no chip, no VATS pellet. GM did not put the PASS-Key II resistor pellet on S/T platform trucks. If someone quotes you for transponder programming on this vehicle, they are billing for work that does not exist.

1998 GMC Jimmy Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out near Ventura River Preserve, a pharmacist flagged me down about her 1998 GMC Jimmy. She needed a working spare remote and a backup ignition key, but the real reason she called was trust. Her last locksmith left no license number on the receipt, no company name, and a disconnected phone number a week later when the remote quit pairing.

She told me she had already looked up my BSIS license, LCO 6792, on the state website before dialing. That caught my attention. Most people don't bother.

Her original KOBUT1BT was beat up but still functional. I paired the new remote to the Jimmy's receiver module using the standard GM learn procedure through the driver door lock cylinder, key on, key off, hold lock and unlock on the new remote. No scan tool needed for the remote side on these second-gen S/T trucks. Cut her a fresh ignition key from the door code and tested it in the ignition, doors, and tailgate.

She watched the whole thing from two feet away. When it was done she asked for a receipt with my license number, company name, and a phone number she could call next month if something acted up.

That is the part the dealer never thinks about. She did not pick me over them because of the price difference. She picked me because the last guy vanished and I am still listed on a public state database with my real name attached.

GMC Jimmy Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

My key broke off inside the ignition on my 1998 Jimmy. Can you get it out?
Yes. Broken key extraction on the second-gen Jimmy ignition cylinder is a standard mobile job. I use extractor picks to pull the broken piece without tearing up the wafers inside the cylinder. Once the fragment is out, I can cut a new key from it or decode your locks directly. These S/T platform ignition cylinders (GM part number 26049532 for the lock cylinder assembly) are known for wear at high mileage, so if the wafers are already sloppy I will let you know whether extraction alone will hold or if the cylinder needs replacing. Either way, it gets handled at the vehicle, not at a shop.
What exactly is the KOBUT1BT remote on my 1998 GMC Jimmy?
My Jimmy remote stopped locking and unlocking. Is it the fob or the truck?
Does my 1998 GMC Jimmy have a transponder or chip in the ignition key?
Can I program a replacement KOBUT1BT remote to my Jimmy myself?
