Default 05' Corvette without a key

Hello,

I'm considering buying 2005 Corvette with salvage certificate, but all car keys are lost. Is it possible to get new keys in Europe? All the information would be helpful

Fobs are no problem as you can buy them used on Ebay. You will need to have the dealer or a locksmith cut a new metal key though. If the car is actually a European spec car (originally delivered to Europe) then a dealer will have to program those fobs, self programming is disabled in European spec cars. If the car is a USA spec car that was taken to Europe after being delivered in the USA, then you can program the fobs yourself with info in this thread:

Good luck and let us know how it works out...

If its an European spec car you need an 433 Mhz key fob, the US models use 315 MHz key fob , something to think about when buying new one.
