Looking for a Key

Dognuts67 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-14-04, 12:48 PM

I recently purchased a 98 Catera. It only came with one key and one transmitter. Does anyone know a reliable place to order a spare key to start the car and open the doors? They are overpriced at the dealer. My transmitter has a "1" on the back of it. I was told to get a "2". I aslo need a 2nd transmitter as well. Any help would be appreciatted.

Ebay seems to be the place...

Make sure the transmitter for the remote is the same as the one you have. (believe thats how that goes)

As for the key, i doubt youll find one on ebay that will work with your car.

Heres a past thread that may help, some good info on here:

Actually, I got mine from eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7919200421). Just make sure the numbers on the back match the one you have, and you will be all set.
Just go to search, and enter the GM: number.

I took mine to the dealer, they charged $40 to program it. You can do it yourself if you have a scanner. There are directions someplace online.

I do not believe that it matters if the remote is #1 or #2, those are just designations to distuingish between keys when the car was delivered. I believe they delivered it with two keys.
