⭐ The KEYDIY NB18 is a 3+1-button universal flip remote in a GM-style flip-key shell, part of the KEYDIY KD NB series and generated with KD tools such as the KD900, KD900+, Mini KD, KD-X2, KD-X4 and KD-MAX. Unlike the plain no-chip B18 shell, the NB18 carries a built-in super transponder that the KD tool configures at generation to emulate the chip ID the target vehicle's immobilizer expects, so no separate transponder chip needs to be sourced or programmed. Frequency and protocol are written at generation across the same roughly 300–500 MHz tool-set range as the B18. The unit ships without a key blade or battery - both are sourced per job. Built for automotive locksmiths and key shops generating matched GM-family remote-and-chip combinations on demand instead of stocking model-specific fobs and chips separately.

⚙️ Key features

 

Universal by generation

One blank replaces a wall of vehicle-specific GM remotes - and their chips. The KD tool writes the remote data and configures the built-in chip together for the vehicle selected from the KEYDIY database.

Built-in super transponder

A transponder chip is built into the shell and configured by the KD tool to emulate the ID class the target immobilizer expects - no separate chip to source or pre-program. This SKU's chip belongs to KEYDIY's ID46/ID47-class NB-series transponder family.

Tool-set frequency

Frequency and protocol are set during generation across roughly 300–500 MHz, the same adjustable range published for the no-chip B18 shell - no NB18-specific fixed value is published separately.

GM-style 3+1-button flip body

Lock, unlock, trunk and panic in a flip-key body commonly referenced as Chevrolet-type, with a slot for KD universal flip blades (not included) and a standard CR2032 cell (not included).

💎 Benefits

 

Leaner remote and chip stock

Carry one NB-series blank instead of separate remote and chip part numbers for every GM flip-key job, freeing shelf space and working capital.

Generate on demand

Produce a matched remote-and-chip unit at the job in minutes with a KD tool - no waiting on a specific GM replacement part or chip to arrive.

No dead stock

An ungenerated blank isn't tied to one vehicle or one chip ID - whatever the next GM-family job turns out to be, the same unit can serve it.

👥 Who it's for

 

Automotive locksmiths

Field remote-and-chip generation for lock-out, spare-key, all-keys-lost and remote-replacement jobs on GM-family vehicles.

Key shops

Counter service for walk-in GM remote-and-chip replacements without holding model-specific inventory.

Garages & used-car dealers

Preparing spare keys with matched chip data for GM-family vehicles in stock with a KD tool on site.

Vehicle coverage is defined by the KEYDIY remote database in the KD tool. Chevrolet and Buick are the confirmed shell associations; Opel is single-sourced only. Cadillac, GMC and Holden were checked and were not found associated with this SKU. Confirm the exact make, model and year in the tool before generating.
Not the same part as the plain B18 (dashboard SKU B01234 - same GM flip-key shell, no built-in chip) or the ZB18 (a Dodge Ram-style proximity/push-to-start smart key on different hardware - not a flip remote). "NB18" bare can also be ambiguous between 3- and 4-button variants across retailers - this listing is the 4-button (NB18-4-equivalent) version.
Some supplier listings describe this chip family as configurable across several profiles - including ones referenced for Peugeot/Citroën, older Honda, VW Touareg/Bentley/Renault/Fiat, and Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles. That describes the chip's configurable profile range only - this GM-style shell does not physically fit non-GM-family vehicles.

🛠️ Programming instructions

 
🖥️TWO-STAGE PROCESS - GENERATE REMOTE + CHIP, THEN PAIR
1Select the vehicle in the KD tool (KD900, KD900+, Mini KD, KD-X2, KD-X4 or KD-MAX) and open the matching remote profile from the KEYDIY database.
2Generate the remote and configure the chip - the tool writes the vehicle's remote data to the NB18 and configures the built-in super transponder to the ID class the vehicle profile calls for, setting frequency within the 300–500 MHz range.
3Pair to the vehicle using that model's own procedure - on-board steps where supported, or OBD pairing with a programming tool.
4Complete the vehicle's immobilizer key-learning procedure - on-board steps or an OBD/AKL programmer, per model. The chip is already configured from step 2, so no separate chip purchase or pre-programming stop is required.
Confirm before the job: the pairing procedure, remote coverage and supported chip profile vary by GM model and year - verify the vehicle and its pairing method in the KD database first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this product

The NB18 shares the same GM-style flip-key shell as the plain B18 but adds a built-in super transponder chip, configured by the KD tool to match the target vehicle's immobilizer. The B18 (dashboard SKU B01234) is remote-only and requires a separately sourced chip; the NB18 does not.
The NB18 carries a built-in super transponder from KEYDIY's ID46/ID47-class NB-series chip family, configured at generation by the KD tool to emulate the exact ID the target vehicle's immobilizer expects. Because the chip is field-reconfigurable, no separate transponder needs sourcing or programming.
Chevrolet is the confirmed primary shell association and Buick is also confirmed. Opel, as a former GM-owned European marque sharing platform components with Buick/Chevrolet, is also covered. Cadillac, GMC and Holden were specifically checked and not found in reliable coverage data, so confirm the exact make, model and year in the KD tool before generating.
No. The ZB18 is a Dodge Ram-style proximity smart key on unrelated hardware, not a flip remote, and should not be confused with this SKU. Note also that "NB18" alone is used ambiguously across some retailers for both 3-button and 4-button variants - this listing is the 3+1-button (4-button) version.
No. Some supplier listings note this chip family can emulate IDs also used on Peugeot/Citroen, older Honda, VW Touareg/Bentley/Renault/Fiat, or Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep immobilizer systems, but that describes the chip's emulation range only. The physical shell is styled for GM vehicles and does not fit non-GM-family vehicles regardless of what the chip can emulate.
Approximately 45 g, in line with other compact KEYDIY NB-series flip remotes of the same body style and consistent with the physical dimensions of the shell itself. The no-chip B18 sibling shares the same size and molding, since the built-in transponder is a small internal component that adds negligible weight to the finished unit.
Included: one KEYDIY NB18 flip remote with its built-in transponder chip. Not included: the key blade, the CR2032 battery, and the KD generation tool itself - the remote and chip are generated to the vehicle, but the tool, blade and battery are sourced separately.
Yes, this listing is genuine KEYDIY stock, new and unused. KEYDIY is the aftermarket manufacturer behind the B and NB remote series; the NB18 is not an OEM General Motors part, and fitment is achieved by selecting the correct vehicle profile and generating the remote and chip with a KD tool.
