Which Key Does the Chevrolet Astro Use?
Depending on trim level and model year, your 1995–2005 Astro takes either a Plastic Head ignition key or a Keyless Entry Remote operating at 315 MHz — available in 2-button, 3-button, or 4-button configurations. Four verified FCC IDs cover this generation: AB01502T, ABO0104T, ABO1502T, and KOBUT1BT, so matching the correct remote to your van is essential before programming begins. We stock all seven variants confirmed for this model, and our key parts start at around $1 — the all-in installed price is shown above.

What Happens If You've Lost All Keys to Your Astro?
Losing every key to a 1995–2005 Astro means the van stays parked until a locksmith or dealer generates a working key from scratch — no spare to copy from. A mobile locksmith can cut a new Plastic Head Key by code and program any required remote on-site without towing the van anywhere. If the van is locked as well, a car lockout service call gets the door open first, then the key replacement follows in the same visit. Dealers typically require an appointment and may need the vehicle trailered in, adding significant cost and wait time.
What Affects the Price and How to Get It Done Fast in Las Vegas
The main factors that shift cost on an Astro key job are whether you need a remote programmed in addition to a cut key, how many working keys you're starting with, and the time of day you call. The installed price shown above covers parts and labor for a standard visit anywhere in the Las Vegas valley. Calling a 24-hour Las Vegas locksmith means a technician can meet you at home, a parking lot, or a job site — no tow, no dealer markup, and no waiting for a next-day appointment. Booking while you still have one working key is always cheaper than an all-keys-lost scenario, so don't wait until the last key breaks.

Depending on the exact build, your Astro uses one of: Keyless Entry Remote, Plastic Head Key. Match your key to the photos above, or send us the FCC number printed on the back and we'll load the right one.
Can I program a Chevrolet Astro key fob myself without a locksmith?
Some 1995–2005 Astro remotes support an on-board programming sequence, but it requires at least one currently working programmed key to initiate the cycle. If you have no working keys, or the procedure fails, a locksmith with professional programming equipment is needed. It's always safer to confirm the correct FCC ID — AB01502T, ABO0104T, ABO1502T, or KOBUT1BT — before purchasing any remote.
How long does an Astro key replacement take with a mobile locksmith in Las Vegas?
A typical Astro key replacement — cut plus remote programming — takes roughly 20 to 45 minutes once the technician arrives on-site. All-keys-lost situations may take slightly longer because the ignition must be accessed to generate the first working key. A mobile locksmith eliminates the transit and wait time associated with a dealership visit.
Does the 1995 Chevrolet Astro use the same key as the 2005 model?
Both model years fall within the same 1995–2005 generation and share the same Plastic Head Key and 315 MHz remote platform, but the specific remote variant and FCC ID can differ by year and factory configuration. That's why matching the correct one of the seven stocked variants matters before cutting or programming. A locksmith will verify your vehicle's details on the spot to pull the right key.
