Got mine at the dealer. I'm sure there are places to get it cheaper.

They can be ordered from just about any key vendor. I got mine at a “Post All” which is a all purpose mail place that does fed ex and stuff. Ordered the fobs from amazon to go with them.

  • Using a multimeter, measure the resistance of your key pellet.
  • Check the chart below and find the corresponding VATS No.
  • Buy a blank with the correct VATS for your car (Google will help you )
  • Make a duplicate in the place of your choice

I gave a key to my local locksmith and said make me one of these. Ten minutes and $23 later he put it in my hand and I drove away.

Just had 2 made. Figured out what the resistance of my VATS key was, ordered the blanks on Ebay, and took them to my local locksmith who zipped them out for $2 ea.

Dealer or locksmith should be able to do it for you.
