Suzuki Aerio key types & programming facts

2003-2007 Suzuki Aerio models in the U.S. and Canada use a standard metal ignition key with an embedded transponder chip plus a separate keyless entry remote fob for lock/unlock functions. Remote fobs for these years can be programmed by an onboard sequence in the vehicle, while transponder key cutting and immobilizer programming generally require specialized automotive key equipment or a locksmith/dealer service.

Key types used on the Aerio:

  • metal key with transponder chip (separate keyless entry remote) (2003-2007)

Common fob FCC IDs: MOZD01TB, OUCG8D-246S-A, MOZD02TB — check the back of your fob; we confirm the exact variant on site.

How we validate this guide

Year coverage comes from our consolidated vehicle programming dataset. Route-level programming status is reviewed against internal route sheets and available manufacturer, security-access, and professional tool references. Exact button sequences are marked source-verified only when we have year/equipment-specific support; where a year is labeled “route verified, steps vary,” we confirm the exact fob, trim, and prompts before programming. Reviewed for route and safety by Mohammad H. Abdelhadi, ALOA-Certified Master Locksmith.

Common questions

Does my 2003-2007 Suzuki Aerio use a separate remote and key?

Yes. These Aerio models use a separate keyless entry remote fob along with a standard metal key that starts the engine.

Can I program a replacement remote for my Suzuki Aerio myself?

Many 2003-2007 Aerio keyless entry remotes can be programmed by an onboard procedure in the vehicle, without dealer tools.

Which FCC IDs are commonly associated with Suzuki Aerio remotes?

Documented Aerio remotes include FCC IDs MOZD01TB, MOZD02TB, and OUCG8D-246S-A, tied to OEM Suzuki keyless entry fobs for 2002-2007 production.

Can you program a Aerio key fob without going to the dealership?

For most years, yes - the route is onboard relearn or an OBD tool, both of which a mobile locksmith handles at your location.

Does this program the remote only, or the transponder key too?

It depends on your key type. Tell us your FCC ID and we will confirm.

What if my year says professional programming required?

Those years need a programmer or security access; we bring the tool to you and program it on site.

How much does it cost?

It depends on year, key type, and whether you have a working key. Call (833) 439-8636 for a firm price before we dispatch.
