You certainly don't want someone to be able to steal your vette.

check with Gene at GM Partshouse - forum vendor. he can sell you the correct FOB for your car at a price lower then your dealer. you can also check ebay or similar sites for FOB's that might be for sale but buyer beware! once you have a new FOB, you will need to program it (instructions in the OM or do a search here) or have your dealer do it for you. good luck!

Another issue that must be addressed is what happens when someone finds the lost fob and uses it to steal your car?
You really need to have all fobs reprogrammed after you buy the new one.

..which is also needed if you want the new one to be #2 rather than #3. Still not difficult. It just takes more time but you can still do it yourself. As I recall it is 30 minutes waiting for timers to time out to erase all and program 2 FOBs.

I was never able to get my car to recognize the new FOB that I bought. I will having the dealer take care of it.
If I recall correctly, the car is programmed to recognize the FOB. Not programming a FOB to work with the car. So if you have information on the lost FOB that would assist whoever finds it in finding your Corvette, I would suggest having the dealer wipe all FOB recognition from the car and update for the new FOB's.
Good Luck! If you are really lucky the key will show up. Like the time my daughter lost the keys to her rental car, and found them when she bent over to pick up a dropped napkin and the keys fell from her cleavage. I didn't know that gals stored keys in there!
