Anyone replace the lock in center console.
Need to replace it. Being that it would need to be keyed to the ignition key, is this something that I can do myself or does it need to be done by a dealer?

CJ,
My keys were stolen a few months back. I grabbed my spare keys, went to Hudiberg Chevrolet and explained my situation. They told me that I had to have my door lock and my ignition swapped out. I asked them what the process was, the cost and the turn around time.
They advised me that they are unable to perform this surgery. They further advised me that a local locksmith is who they have referred other vette owners to for scenarios such as mine. So I went to my nearest locksmith and told them that I needed my door and ignition exchanged and re-coded. $50.00 per door (thank god only the driver side has the lock) and $150.00 for the ignition. Process took roughly 4 hours. I had two new sets of keys with FOB's.
You may want to 86 the dealership and go to a locksmith and tell them what you need. They may be able to help.....God forbid my dealership perform such a task after I purchased their flagship.
Good luck and PM me if you need any help
