Which Key the Chevrolet Bolt Uses (2017–2022)
Every 2017-2022 Bolt leaves the factory with a Smart Key fob — FCC ID HYQ4AA or HYQ4ES — operating on either 315 MHz or 434 MHz depending on the specific build. Button counts vary between 4 and 5 across the three distinct variants, so the correct fob must match your vehicle's receiver before programming will hold. Our key fob programming service covers all three variants on-site, no dealer visit required. Parts for this model start around $33 before labor and programming, and the all-in installed price is shown above.
What Happens When All Bolt Keys Are Lost
Losing every Smart Key for a Bolt is more involved than a traditional key loss because the vehicle's BCM must be cleared and all new fobs enrolled from scratch — a process dealers typically require a tow and a multi-day wait to complete. A mobile locksmith with the right OBD programming tool can perform that same all-keys-lost sequence in your driveway, parking lot, or anywhere in the Las Vegas Valley. Check our 24-hour locksmith page if you are stranded after hours; response time matters when a Bolt with a dead 12-volt auxiliary battery won't release the charge port or unlock. We carry backup fobs on the van so the job is completed in a single visit.
What Changes the Price and How to Get It Done Fast
The final installed price shown above reflects the fob variant your specific VIN requires, the programming method (standard add-a-key vs. all-keys-lost), and your location within greater Las Vegas. Calling ahead with your VIN lets us confirm the correct HYQ4AA or HYQ4ES variant and load it on the van before we roll, cutting on-site time significantly. Same-day car key replacement is the norm, not the exception, because we stock all three Bolt variants locally rather than drop-shipping from a warehouse. If you are locked out while waiting, our car lockout service can get you inside before the new key is programmed.

How much does a 2017–2022 Chevrolet Bolt key replacement cost?

Can you make a Chevrolet Bolt key without the original?
Yes. Even with all keys lost, we can originate a new key for your Chevrolet Bolt by accessing the immobilizer directly — no dealer tow required. It costs a bit more than copying an existing key, so keeping a spare is the cheapest insurance.

Can I program a second Chevrolet Bolt key fob myself at home?
The 2017-2022 Bolt does not support a DIY self-programming loop — GM requires a professional scan tool to write fob data to the BCM. A mobile locksmith with the correct OBD interface can add a second fob on-site in roughly 30 minutes without towing to a dealer.
What is the FCC ID for the 2017-2022 Chevrolet Bolt key fob?
This generation uses two FCC IDs: HYQ4AA and HYQ4ES, covering 4-button and 5-button variants across 315 MHz and 434 MHz frequencies. Your specific fob variant is tied to your VIN, so providing that number when you call ensures we bring the exact replacement.
How long does Chevrolet Bolt key fob replacement take in Las Vegas?
A standard add-a-key appointment on a Bolt typically takes 20-40 minutes once the technician arrives. An all-keys-lost scenario takes a bit longer because the BCM must be cleared before new fobs are enrolled, but both are completed on-site in a single mobile visit anywhere in the Las Vegas metro area.
