Which Key Type Does Your Impala Use?
The answer depends on your model year. Earlier 1994–2000 Impalas typically use a basic plastic head key or a transponder key, while mid-2000s through 2020 models moved to keyless entry remotes, remote flip keys, and remote head keys operating at 315MHz or 433MHz. Button counts across the 17 variants range from 3 to 6, so matching the correct FCC ID — such as KOBLEAR1XT, OUC60270, or KR55WK50073 — is critical before any cut or program is attempted. You can cross-reference your original fob's FCC ID on the back label, or let a technician identify it by VIN. See our full car key replacement options for details on each format we carry.
What Happens If You Lost All Impala Keys?
Losing every key to your Impala is more serious than losing one, because many transponder and remote head key systems require at least one working key to perform a standard add-key procedure — when none exist, a full relearn or module-level programming is needed. According to the Edmunds key replacement guide, dealer routes for this scenario often mean towing the vehicle and waiting days; a mobile locksmith can perform an all-keys-lost procedure at your location using the VIN and proof of ownership to generate and program a new key from scratch. GM can technically produce a key by VIN through a dealer, but that process involves ownership verification delays and does not include on-site programming — a Las Vegas mobile locksmith completes the same verification and cuts the key on the spot. If you're locked out right now, our 24-hour locksmith service is dispatched around the clock.
What Changes the Price and How to Get It Done Fast in Las Vegas
The installed price shown above covers parts and labor as a single on-site visit — no shop fees, no tow, no return trips. Variables that affect cost include the key type your specific year requires (a basic transponder runs less than a proximity-style remote head key), whether an all-keys-lost procedure is needed, and how many keys you want programmed in one visit (doing two at once saves a second trip charge). Our parts for the Impala start around $1 for the key blank itself, as noted by resources like AutoZone's Impala keyless transmitter listings, but the programming labor and mobile dispatch are what a dealer or big-box kiosk cannot match on your driveway.

What should I do if I lost my car key for my Chevrolet Impala?
First, check that you have your VIN and proof of ownership ready — a locksmith or dealer will need both. A mobile locksmith in Las Vegas can come to your location, identify the correct key variant from your VIN, cut a new key, and program the transponder or remote all in one visit. If you are locked out at the same time, request a combined lockout-and-replacement service to save time.
Can GM make a key for my Impala using just the VIN number?
Yes, GM dealerships can use the VIN to look up the original key code and cut a replacement blade, but they typically require you to bring the vehicle in, present ownership documents, and wait for parts — and programming is a separate step. A licensed mobile locksmith uses the same VIN-based key code process and performs the cut and program on-site, which is faster and does not require towing a car that won't start.
How do I know which FCC ID or remote type my Impala key uses?
The FCC ID is printed on the back of your existing fob; common ones for the Impala include KOBLEAR1XT, OHT01060512, OUC60270, and KR55WK50073, among others across the 1994–2020 range. If you have no working key to reference, a locksmith can decode the correct remote type from your VIN and the vehicle's receiver module. Matching the FCC ID and frequency (315MHz or 433MHz depending on year) is essential — using the wrong remote will result in a fob that cannot be programmed to that vehicle.
