Key fob
I need to get a new key fob for my 2007 vette and am wondering if I will need to take it to a dealership to have it programmed? Anyone done this lately and how much? I’ve seen them for sale on the internet but not sure about the quality. Thanks for the feedback.

Below is a link to the owners manual for your 2007 C6. Page 75 describes how you can program a new key fob for your car once you purchase one.

I bought two of these for my 2007. $30 each.
I first did a short program to make sure my glove box key insert was working, then I did a long program to erase all the memory and reprogram my fobs. Instructions are on this board on how to do a short and long program, very easy to do.

Make sure you trunk key mechanism works..... You need this to reprogram your fob. Mine did not work and I had to remove the back cover (carpet cover inside) and reach in and initiate the program by hand by pulling the lever five/six times.
