Corvette Key - Key FOB
Hey everyone,
Both My key FOBS are up non functional. I contacted Gene to see how much it would be to get some new ones, but what ever happened to the Corvette key design which looked like a mercedes key or bmw key with the key intergrated with the FOB.

I bought one of the original ones from the vendor. I like mine, though it is big due to the size of the key itself. I think that it adds that luxury tough that was missing with the original fob.
I have seen them either at Eckler's or Mid America.
Good Luck

Buy at you own risk....I used to sell these things and the company that makes them is terrible with customer service!!!!
I quit offering them just for that reason alone....

I am guessing they come with all the electronic internals of a normal FOB.

Thanks for the heads up. I figured if i am going to spend some money on a new one, might as well get something with a different design.

A friend of mine has one of these and I was turned off by the very large size. I was expecting it to be about the same size as my Audi key.
