A new set of keys will be $80, and the fob is 65 i believe.

Messed up part is you can get a real uncut GM key w/ the lil resister off ebay for $12 and a new Fob for $20. All you have to do is specify what "frequency" for the resistor. Well when you find you lost keys or after you but a new set from GM, just to have a spare.

Yeah they are all interchangeable. If you buy one get a Sunfire/Cavalier "version" it will be cheaper and is the SAME part number

Unless they just use the same 12-13 key cut patterns over and over (like they do the resistor) how the hell is the dealership going to cut you a key without the original to duplicate???

I think you're looking at a new set of LOCKS and IGNITION with those keys...

Has anyone ever got keys from a dealership WITHOUT the originals? BEST case scenario you can get an ignition one but I doubt it.

Have you checked the car, the path from the car, neighborhood kids that might have found and picked them up?

Exactly what I did. Measured the resistance , bought the blanks on ebay, bought a few fobs as well.

FOBs:


All have the same FCC # AB01502T and GM # 16245100-29.

The dealer has a automated key cutter that has EVERY single key every produced linked to its vin in it's memory. When used it cuts an original key, not a duplicate.
