Default Key FOB?????

Will a key fob from a 2000 Corvette work on a 98 Corvette. I do currently have the remote with the passive switch, but I never use it. Thanks for all your help. Thanks

As long as the 2000 fob still has the passive switch, it will work... 00 is when they switched them to non-passive but some early ones still had it (I think?) Otherwise, there's usually several for sale and Gene Culleys got 'em for a good price...

Someone else will chime in.. do a search.. plenty of info reguarding this

Yes, the 2000 fob will program and work fine on the 98-99. It WON'T have the passive switch, 2000's did not, but it will work except for that feature. 2001 and up will NOT work on the earlier models.
