Key Fob 2009 GT
1 Attachment(s)
I bought a 2009 GT at Mecum Chicago last month. It has only one key fob. It's the type that does not fold. I would like to replace it and add another that does fold.
What have you found to be the best source of aftermarket fobs for these cars? I checked with a Chev dealer and they are ridiculous on pricing. Obviously, I need to purchase, program, and grind the key to fit my car. Thank you for any advice you can provide. |
Had mine done by a lock shop, a little cheaper. Ace Hardware may do them also. Or hand me the key & vehicle and I'll see what I can work out :)

One of the least expensive ones GM has. Not sure why but serviced separately vs complete. The "button" side is part #92237316 Retail $31.72 The "un cut" flip key half is #92281663 Retail $44.91 Pre cut by GM is #92281664 Retail $44.26 Go figure?... Any GM dealer can order it pre cut. Some refuse unless its one of their customers. Some are cheap, some are not. Round here the charge for codes range from $30 to $50 plus $0 to $10 for cutting. Chevy down the street charges $75.00 to get codes and $30.00 to cut it. Hear its $100-$150 in Chicago area... Forgot programing remote runs $75-$125 round here. Unless you know someone. Then its $5-$10 ;) |
To order pre-cut, I'm assuming you would supply the VIN. Programming the "button side", I assume, would be done on the car. There are many tips online to do that.
So, I order pre-cut and the button? Is that the complete fob? I checked our local dealer yesterday. Parts guy said "two weeks and $120 or more for the fob." |

It was the straight key and not a flip; no Pontiac arrow on the body. The key was also out 90° as compared to the fob body of the original. Fun car to drive! |
Ace & other local stores say they can only make Vibe, G5, G6 keys. Who can cut the key shank if I order one from our host?
