Which Remote Your Cavalier Actually Uses
Cavaliers built between 1994 and 2005 rely on a keyless entry remote operating at 314 MHz or 315 MHz, with FCC IDs AB01502T, ABO0103T, ABO1502T, and L2C0005T covering the full production run. Button count varies — 2, 3, or 4 buttons — depending on the factory options on your specific car, so matching the correct variant matters before any programming begins. We stock all four remote variants for this model, and parts start at roughly $12 before labor and programming.

What Happens When All Cavalier Remotes Are Lost
Losing every remote for a 1994–2005 Cavalier is stressful but completely solvable without a dealer visit. A mobile locksmith carries the correct blank remotes, programs them on-site using the proper procedure for your vehicle's receiver, and verifies lock and unlock function before leaving. If you're also locked out of the car itself, that's handled in the same visit — see our car lockout service for how that works. Because this generation Cavalier does not use a high-security transponder ignition chip in the same way later GM platforms do, the remote replacement process is typically straightforward and fast.
What Affects the Price and How to Get It Done Fast in Las Vegas
The installed price shown above covers the remote, on-site programming, and a function test — no hidden fees and no tow to a dealership. Factors that can affect the final cost include how many remotes you need programmed in one visit and whether you need additional services like a lockout at the same time. We operate 24 hours a day across Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, so there's no premium for nights or weekends. For the fastest service, have your VIN and the number of buttons on your original remote ready when you call so we pull the right variant before the technician rolls out.
