MarxZiesXR 05-02-2010, 08:41 AM Alright had to bump this as a new thread to get some info. My FOB is definitely bad. I can hear something loose. Put a new battery in it and it still acted the same. How can I go about replacing these. Ovbiously the dealer, but we all know that will be expensive. Any other solutions or ideas? Thanks in advance, M!.:bump2: jgillen1 05-02-2010, 09:35 AM i would try ebay. http://motors.shop.ebay.com/i.html?Make=Chevrolet&Model=Corvette&_nkw=key%20fob&_dmpt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&_fln=1&_mad=1&_ssov=1&_trksid=p4506.c0.m282 Big T Machine 05-02-2010, 11:52 AM Are you sure the rattle isn't the auto arming for the alarm? As I recall, before 2000 the Vettes had a system that automatically locked the doors, and the fob had a piece in it that was the activating device. It would make a rattling noise as it moved. But I guess if it doesn't work when reprogrammed through the DIC then it wouldn't matter. As for new fobs, I think a guy named Gene Culley has the best prices, he can be found on the "other" forum. I got a good deal on a new fob for my 2000 from his company and it works like a champ!

Junkman2008 05-02-2010, 01:19 PM I've got 4 fobs for my car. Both are matching 1/2 pairs. Three came from eBay for less than $30. No brainer. awnuts 05-02-2010, 03:49 PM Check here https://www.remotesandkeys.com/ They have new and used FOBs all with guarantee.I bought the one for my 94 there it wasnt cheap but it was new OEM. awnuts 05-02-2010, 03:54 PM 2000 vette? heres the linkage to where I posted http://www.remotesandkeys.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=10432147 69.95 cheaper than the one I got lol. Mine was 139.00 brand new with 12 month warranty OEM. MarxZiesXR 05-02-2010, 03:57 PM EBAY huh, I will have to check that out. Mine is a 99 are there differences in the FOBs and will I have to get it programed to work with the car? Thanks for all the good info already. M:sm_party: Junkman2008 05-02-2010, 05:09 PM Your fobs will cost more, but the eBay price beats paying retail for them. As for programming, the instrcutions are in your owners manual. Big T Machine 05-02-2010, 09:22 PM Yeah, any new remote will have to be programmed through the DIC, and NOT just re-synched. Otherwise, all anyone would have to do is have a remote, press and hold the two buttons to sync, and then they would be able to to get into the car they were standing next to. Big T plumbercrack 05-03-2010, 03:37 AM Definitely try Ebay. MarxZiesXR 05-04-2010, 05:56 AM Your fobs will cost more, but the eBay price beats paying retail for them.

My car didn't come with an owners manual.:doh: shaft 05-04-2010, 08:21 AM partstaxi.com had OEM cheaper than others. My 00 fob was $54. Junkman2008 05-04-2010, 09:06 AM Well thats a problem for me. My car didn't come with an owners manual.:doh: You can find the owner's manual for every C5 (and then some), right here (http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/specs/index.html).
