Long story short, I don't know where I left my car keys, and I only got one set (when I bought it, the owner only had one set and it was beat up some, too, like it had been in a freaking blender or some ****).

My car is an 03 and made within the last 7 years, so I'm assuming I can take my vin # up to a chevy dealership and have them order me a new key/fob combo?

thanks,

they wont order it, theyll make it right there, it takes like 5 min. I did it a few months ago for my 98, its 11 years old.

No ****? Do they even verify that you're the owner in any way? I guess they have my service records on hand. Too bad the damn dealership's closed tomorrow.

How much $$ did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?

thanks,

Just bought my car, and the damn key is 30.00 plus 15.00 for the stealership to get the exact specs from the vin number to cut the key, plus tax and labor.

Thats just the damn ignition key.

Sucks for you, cause you need to know the pill number (ie) ohm value of the key, which i spent 7.00 on ebay , but i can cut it at work.


Yes, call the stealership and ask about varification, you will need proof if you dont have the spare set, they can still make em if you do not have a set at all, just need proof that YOU are the owner.

LOL ya know come to think of it they didnt ask any proof i owned the car lol. it was cheap, like 20 bucks. they wanted like 100 something for new remotes though

I just went through he same process:

1) They need the VIN. The key is under $30. Take your title or insurance just in case they try to verify ownership. They didnt ask me for anything.

2) The remote is $70-75.

3) The programming of the remote is $70.

It took me a whole 40 minutes at the dealership. But yeah, you are looking at about $200 for getting the ignition key with remote.

I had a key made for my TA, just brought the insurance card with me. Most big dealer parts departments can do it for you.

I went to the dealer just about a week ago to get both ignition and door keys made for my 1995 LT1 car, bring proof of ownership (Title) and i was charged about $86 for ignition and door keys... it wasnt that expensive or that much of a pain in the ***...

Just have them make you the keys. Spend $5-10 bucks on ebay to buy the keyfob and program it yourself.

You can get a key FOB off ebay for under $25. I got two for $20 from there. Bought my 03 50th anv. key from the dealership for like $40 something. I wanted the 03 50th anv. key since my car is the 50th model. Im picky like that.

I now have 3 key FOBS and really don't need the 3rd one. If you want ill sell you mine for $13 shipped?

With the vin, the dealer should be able to determine the which resistor key you need. We did this in the early 90's when they damn things first came out.

Just following up here, that ebay key worked just fine. I ohm'd out my key with a digital meter, and followed the vats key scale and this google'd thread.

Super-bat, how did you program the keyfob? Ive never done it, and almost lost the keyfob twice now.

Thanks
