Default Remote lock, how do I know.....

....if my '96 originally had remote locks or not? I really don't like sticking the key in every time I want to unlock the door.

I believe the remotes started with the 1992 models. I had a '91 which never came with remotes from the factory. I installed an aftermarket keyless entry instead with alarm. You can also check with your local Chevy dealer to confirm the part number and cost.

It came with facyory remote. Read about it in your oeners manual. Perform the fob programming procedure as far as you can and see if everything seems to wirk. If it all look OK it is probably safe to order a fob. They rin about $130.

As Mark mentioned, it came from the factory with them.
All '93 - '96 Corvettes did

If you don't have an owners manual, you can download a PDF version here:

Now you should read up on how the C4 PKE system actually worked.
They are not like other FOB's, and some people don't like them.
