1------------402

2------------523

3------------681

4------------887

5------------1130

6------------1470

You would need to take your key to a Chevy dealer, so that they can measure the resistance. This will tell you what key you need.
Not sure as far as the dash, but you may be better off getting yours fixed instead of just replacing it. I think there is a company that fixes them, but I am not sure of the name.

Good luck
