Lost keyless remotes

How do you replace the keyless entry remote on a car who's previous owner lost? Any ideas on how much it will cost?

go to the dealer and get 2 remotes and marry them to the car through the instrument cluster.i believe the procedure is in the owners manual.

Re: Lost keyless remotes (bowtiebandit)

I found mine on E-Bay for 1/3 of what the dealer would have charged!!! I got three remotes NEW still in the packages! The ones for the newer C5's are a LOT less than the older C5's My 98 FOB has part #10253839 and my 02 FOB has part# 25695954.

The 98 FOB will NOT work on the 02 and the 02 FOB will NOT work on the 98.

As I remember, somewhere around 2000/2001 the FOBs changed. So,,, make sure that you get the CORRECT one. The ones for other GM models look the same but have different operating frequencies! I highly recommend calling the GM Dealer parts counter and asking which model FOB (i.e. part#) you need for your car.

Only purchase off E-Bay by the part #.

You can program up to three to your car and it is VERY easy to do! DO NOT pay the dealer to do it! It's a waste of $$$$$.

If you need help WE (forum members can provide you the procedure or you can look it up in your owners manual. It will be under FOB TRAINING. There is a FOB sync procedure but this only used AFTER you TRAIN your FOB's

Hope that this helps!

I bought one off eBay a while back. The guy assured me it would work on my 97 but it didn't :cuss He sold me one for the newer 99+ Vettes. Anyways, I'll sell this one to you for $20. Thats what I paid. It does me no good sitting here on my headboard :nopity The # on the back is GM/ LEAR 25695954...
