Oldsmobile keys, cut and programmed at your car
Oldsmobile Key Replacement in Jacksonville, FL
Oldsmobile ended in 2004, and most Oldsmobile keys are either a resistor-pellet VATS key or a plain PASSLock key, neither of which needs programming. We Do Locksmith cuts those at your car in Jacksonville from the lock or the key code. The last Bravada is the exception: it is a chipped truck and it is programmed at the vehicle.

Key types by year
Which Oldsmobile key do you have?
| Model years | Key type | What that means for replacement |
|---|---|---|
| 1988 to about 2003 (VATS / PASS-Key) | Metal key with a resistor pellet | Cutlass Supreme, 88, 98, Aurora. The pellet must match one of fifteen values; we read it and cut a matching key. |
| 1998 to 2004 (PASSLock) | Plain metal key, sensor in the ignition | Alero, Intrigue and the earlier Silhouette. A cut key works; a relearn only if the ignition was replaced. |
| 2002 to 2004 (PassKey III) | Transponder key | The last Bravada shares the GMT360 platform with the GMC Envoy and Isuzu Ascender and carries a chipped key. Programmed at the diagnostic port, with GM's security wait on all-keys-lost. |
How Oldsmobile key programming works
Most Oldsmobile keys involve no electronic programming. VATS keys need the correct resistor value, PASSLock keys need only the cut, and either may need a short relearn cycle after ignition work, which the technician performs on the spot. The 2002 to 2004 Bravada is the exception and is programmed at the diagnostic port, so tell the dispatcher which model you have and the free estimate will be for the right job.
Things to know before you call about an Oldsmobile
- A wrong VATS pellet disables the starter for a few minutes; let the technician read the value rather than trying several keys.
Pricing for Oldsmobile keys
Oldsmobile keys are among the least expensive we make because there is nothing to program, only a correct cut and pellet.

Oldsmobile key questions
Can you still make Oldsmobile keys?
Yes. Most are GM VATS or PASSLock keys, cut at your car without any dealer. The 2002 to 2004 Bravada needs programming, which we also do at the vehicle.
Why does my Alero crank but not start after a new battery?
It likely needs the PASSLock relearn cycle, which the technician can perform, not a new key.
