My wife lost the extra set of key/transmiter. I have anew transponder key on the way and I will get my local locksmith to cut it and the programming seems pretty straight forward.
Are the e-bay transmitters any good. I see they are around 20 bucks, and a GM is about 40 bucks. Seeing as I am going to have to pay the local Chevy dealer probably 50 bucks to program it, should I just buy the GM, or are the cheaper ones all right?

 

I have bought a new OEM fob and key off ebay before. You can find I had it cut at a locksmith and programmed at the dealer. I was charged about $30 to program both and it took about 10-15 minutes, they do have to do both sets together. I have not had any problems with mine. Just make sure you get the right one I searched by the part number on the fob, because remote start and non remote start fobs will show up.

 

I got the part number off my remaining FOB. It is with remote start. I will get one bought so that I can rest easier about losing this set. I am sure that after I get the new key and FOB, that my wife wil find the other one. Thanks again

 

If she finds the lost one it will no longer work. All fobs must be programed/reprogrammed at the same time to work.

Keys do not have to be done at a dealer.

 

Yep, that's how it works..

Like when ya wash the ride.. Here comes the rain...

Good luck with that..

 

But at least if she eventually finds the key and FOB, I will have an extra key, and another Fob for when she loses it again. Would just have to get it programmed instead of buying one also. Thanks
