Default Key fob replacement

Hello,

Both of my two key fobs are damaged and I'd like to replace them.
I asked my local dealer, here in France, and he said the price for one key was 630€ ($800) ...

I'd like to know what's the average price in the USA ?

Is there a way to do it by myself ? I've seen key replacement on mamotorworks.com for 2005-2007 C6, but it doesn't seem to be available for my 2008 C6.

Thanks

I don't know what the difference is between a European Corvette key fob and an American one but HERE is a European one for $100US.
I guess its a different frequency on Europe models.

Thank you eBay ... I'll find a way !

Do you know if it is possible to link the key to the car without having to go to the dealer ?
I have a OBD-II bluetooth transmitter ...

Sure it is and OBD-II is not involved. THIS thread should be all you need.
I can't figure out why a European part on ebay is blocked from being seen in Europe.

Awesome !
I would never have imagined there would be a simple procedure in the Owner's Manual.
Thank you very much

I just ordered a new key fob on http://www.factoryoemparts.com/2008-...26481-25926481 ($136 incl. shipping)
Part number is #25926481 for the European version.

Thanks again, EVRose
(I'll be in LV next june for some holidays !)
