Default 2000 C5 Key Fob??

I'm so confused. What are my options to replace a key fob for my 2000 C5? I bought the car with no Fobs and would like one, sounds confusing as can be to figure out any economical option?

Not sure what economical means to you, but if you are a penny pincher.....this is the wrong car and wrong hobby.

Don't by car parts off ebay unless you know the seller is good for sure......and you definitely DO NOT need a locksmith to program a key FOB.

Here you go. Genuine GM from Rockauto.

Just follow the steps in owners manual to program to the car.

I've got a 2000 C5 and the key fob(s) are a problem. I change the batteries, clean the contacts and reset the fobs. They will only work for a couple of days and then I'm back to the same old problems.
Any ideas?
