Critical Fitment & Security Info: This kit is designed for specific GM and Chevrolet models built between 1995 and 2009. Please check the compatibility list in the product details above before ordering to make sure it fits your vehicle. Crucial Anti-Theft Warning: Many General Motors vehicles from 1995–2002 utilize the VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System). This system requires a resistor pellet inside the key.

If your vehicle has VATS, you must have a professional locksmith transfer the resistor from your old key to the new one, or bypass the VATS system for the vehicle to start.
