He can take his insurance and proof of owner ship to the stealership and get his vats number. Then order the key (either from the dealership for lots of $$$ or online) with the correct resistance #. Then call a lock smith, and have them mold a key and then cut using your vat key. I recommend you get two or three keys.

Wrong. This is not the only way.

I'm not really worried about the theives finding it...I'm in the marines and there was no link to any of my addresses in my wallet. I was told by a friend the dealership would probably be about $60.

actually that wont work on a formula or a vette, disabling VATS has no affect on the passive key resistor system, you can disable VATS all you want, if they "generic" key does not have the right resistor the car will not start.

All you have to do is call your gm dealer and give them your vin. They can cut the key and you can go pick it up when they have it ready. The key should cost you around 35-50 bux from what I have seen. I did this just the other week because I wanted a spare key made. hth

I pay $25 by using the dealership.... They use the Vin # and cut it right there....
There are 15 different resistor chips... they know and they cut it completely based on vin...
I'm in and out in 10 minutes... I've done this about 4-5 times this year for the company I work for...
They want a recent registration/insurance, and photo ID
