I lost the only pair of keys to my 91z28. The ign. key has the chip on it. what do I need to do to get a new key and chip. I am not worried about the dorr locks since you can get them anywhere. please help

 

Go to your local GM dealer or a locksmith. If he has a vats interrogator he will be able to figure out which value your chip had in it. If you know what dealer the car was bought from they can give you the key codes to the ignition and door. If not, a locksmith will either have to make a key by impressioning or by tearing down your steering column and getting the key codes off of the lock cylinder and then he can cut you a key. But i'll warn you..it's gonna cost you,i do locksmithing in my spare time for fun so i can tell you first hand... I noticed you have a 91 so if you gave a locksmith the vin # he should be able to cut you one with just that.

cant you do a vats bypass then do it the normal way?

 

it will be exspensive which way

 

You might be able to. But i am not exactly sure. I just have all the equipment to do it the way i explained and that's the only way i know how to, not to say what you are suggesting won't work i am just not familiar of that method, if you explained it i might be able to answer that.

 

so if the dealer has the vats tool he will be able to get me new keys then right. the car cant move from the driveway though i am doing major work on it.

 

Well either way really . You'de probably be better off calling around to locksmith's because you know how expensive dealerships are. You could find a locksmith to do it i would say anywhere from $80 to $150. But call all around. Just to have a vats key cut alone is anywhere from $20.00 to 25.00 in my area.

 

the worst part is that once i get a new key made and spend over 200 bucks, il end up finding my damn keys.

 

The vats interrogator will tell him the value of the resister pellet. The dealership or locksmith will be able to get the key codes and cut a key then with just knowing the vin # on your car since the car was built in the 90's.

 

If you can find someone in town that
reposesses cars, I know for a fact
that atleast most of them can get the vats
keys made cheaper than normal people.
checck into it...

A friend of mine reposesses cars and can
make the vats keys for my firebird for about 20 dollars.
thats 130 dollars cheaper than if I went
to the dealer.

 

have him make me a key then

 

Erm, you can get the keys for your car from the dealer for about 20 dollars, if you give them the vin number.

 

how much does it cost anyways to copy the keys with a resistor in them? i have not had a copy of mine yet

 

In pennsylvania it costs anywhere from $18.00 to $25.00.
