Yep--you're right Bill. I still have my "3rd or wallet" key which I received when I got my new '98 C5. I don't think the 3rd key is still supplied???

Just use another Chevy Key! A friend of mine had locked his keys in his vette and out of desperation tried a mans Chevy pickup key and "PRESTO" it opened, He then demonstrated by opening my door with HIS key, and then a couple other vettes(we were at a cruise night) Unfortunately this isn't a joke! GO GM!!

I bought an extra key and a small tap with a hammer removes the plastic then it slides right into the wallet. Well hidden intil you need it.

If we are travelling any distance, the wife brings #2 fob with her. Especially if we are going on a week-end or week long cruise!
