Default Key fob programming

Good morning everyone. I desperately need your help and knowledge. I need another keb fob for my mint condition C-5. As you know the original style with the passive entry system is no longer available.
I found a mint condition used one on ebay.
My questions are. Can I reprogram that used original key fob to my vette. using the on board D.I.C.?
My second question is if I purchase the new style key fob w/o the passive slide button will the key fob auto lock and unlock the vette. or will that feature no longer be available to me?

Thanks in advance.
James

You can purchase a new FOB without the passive lock/unlock for the '97 to '00 for about $100. That passive feature will not work with this FOB.

Use mint condition may or may not mean anything. I have 2 original FOB's for my '99. One of them was rarely used because I am the only driver and it failed years ago.
