KEY REPLACEMENT

  

unit731 -> KEY REPLACEMENT (2/17/2007 10:14:47 AM)

1998 Lumina sedan.
 
Key replacement. 
 
I have the two original keys.  I need more.  What is the deal on purchasing new ignition keys?   I do have a small piece of metal that states on one side KNOCK OUT and on the other 08 M3.  I found this inside a small envelope in glove box.  Also inside this envelope was a small white paper with a barcode with the number *25K9* and I have no idea if this barcode number has anything to do with the keys.
 
Does this ignition key need to be purchased from a Chevrolet Dealer or from any locksmith?  And does the key then need to be programed?  And who does the programing?
 
Called Pass-Key II, I think.

Dealer only for those keys to get "programmed."  It's just a resistor chip.

Dealer only?

OK.  What is the cost for a replacement and/or duplicate key in your area?  I would like a ball park figure. 

Does the dealer actually make the key or just put the chip in it and then I must go to a locksmith for key to be cut?

I ordered my key from the stealership for $60 canadian.  They send me to the locksmith to get it cut and the locksmith tells me that they could have sold me the key for $30.  In fact they have them in stock, all 15 different resister values. The dealership had to order it in.  The guy cut my key for free as he said that I had paid enough already.

Go to 1 of the larger locksmith companies in your area and they may have it in stock and save you some money.

The key with the chip is around $35-45. They can look up yuur key part number by the chip that is in the key. The will insert it into a reader & it will give them a code. If there is no original key to go by the service department has to do it & it'll take about an hour. No telling how much service will charge for it. But, it looks like the 25k9 is probaly your key code (how the notches are put in the key)
