The kicker to that setup is a dealer has to train the fob, no work around. That key blank was $25 at the hardware and I had purchased it on line for $15 along with new fobs. Since they knew how expensive the key was they wouldn't charge me to cut it so if it didn't work they didn't have to replace it. They did a great job and it trained with no problems. Still can't see how the dealers feels $160 is a reasonable price for their keys. The $23 is more like what it should cost. Save the wave...... |

The only had the small head keys in stock at the store but said the other store had the full size heads and they ordered one for me. I went back the next day and the replacement looks just like the factory key with the Chevy logo and all. The replacement works great. The flakey key is in the trash! |
