That won't work if you don't have the fob and probably not if the battery cable isn't attached. I hope you have another key.

Forgive me if I haven't stepped in this particular line of thought before with Vettes, but shouldn't any competent locksmith be able to grant you access any number of ways for a lot less than the price of repairs should anything so far suggested go wrong?
Also, invest in a stout, full-spin chassis rotisserie and several very strong friends. You could then extract the keys like shaking coins out of a piggy bank, and the video would amuse your friends for generations.

Usually you will need proof of ownership and photo ID. This is a security measure so that not just anyone can go to the dealership and get a key made with just VIN#.
