C5 Replacement Key & Fob
Just bought a 1997 coupe, White, 6SP.
Lovin it.
Only came with one key and fob. Any recommendations for the best place to get another fob and where to; get a keyblank, get it cut and get it programed in So Cal?
Thanks ..... Gregg

Congratulations on your purchase!
For Fobs, you can get them from several places.
http://www.gmpartshouse.com/c5partslist.html A supporting vendor.
||--Genuine GM Key FOBS/Transmitters--||
10253839 – 97-99 – 71.95
You can easily program it using your owners manual.
For Keys, you need to find out what your VAT code is. A dealer can find that easily. There are also several websites that would tell you what resistance of the pellet corresponds to what code.
I just went to the dealer and got the code, key and had it cut in one shot.
Good luck and enjoy your new ride.

I just did the same thing w/ 2004, I went to a chevy dealer had them read the resistor on my key and cut me a new one ........ $48.00 and then got on Ebay and found a GM fob for less than $19.00 including shipping.
