Yes, the '99 came with two remotes and both will have the passive option type remote which makes them a bit more expensive. BTW, '99 was a great year Corvette!

You can also use 2000 remotes on a 97-99. They are cheaper, but they do not have the passive feature. Since the passive remotes have a SUPER high failure rate, I opted for the 2000 remotes on my 97 and 99 when ALL the remotes failed within a one year period.

Gene Culley has great deals on the 2000 remotes.

Check a local locksmith. My local locksmith can beat any price that I have seen online including ebay and any vendor on here. Keys and fobs. Suprised the heck out of me.
