Lost the only key fob :(

Lost the only key fob :(
Hello all, I did a cam/header swap on a buddies 2013 grand sport. Took the car to autozone, got home and couldn't find the key fob. Its a possibility that I placed the key in the engine bay when I filled up the power steering fluid, and forgot about it and drove off. Long story short, I was able to drive home but now the car is locked (windows are down) and I have no key for it. He doesn't have a spare either. So basically I screwed myself and need to get a new key made for him. My question is, I found a place (performancecorvettes.com) that sells the key fob, and I did a search looking for a write up on programming the key fob but couldn't find a good source. Can anyone please point me in the right direction, I cant be the only one to lose the only key, and rather not go to the dealer and have them clean out my wallet. Thanks in advance.

Can't program the new fob without the key that goes in the truck latch by the license plate .
You have to turn the key " X" number of times and that puts the system in programing mode , then you need to erase all FOBS and start by programing FOB #1 , then the DIC (Driver Information Center) will ask for FOB# 2 and so on
So the only option will be go to dealer and have them cut you a key , then hope it turns the lock ... if not you will have to go to the dealer
Good Luck and let us know how it turns out

You'll need the actual physical key that goes into the key for the rear hatch (near license plate). You can get these cut at the dealer for ~$12, so just go get one if you need one.

I had to have the owner of the car go in get the key made. They needed his info/ID to get the code to cut the key. They cut the key, and got me a new fob. I programmed it easily using the "long method". He works out of town a lot so we just got it done yesterday. Thanks for all the help fellas.
