I only got one key with my 9c1. The key has the unlock and trunk buttons, but does not have a lock button. I come from LE background so it isn't a big deal to lock my vehicle with the doors lock button or using the key, but I'd love to replace the rubber buttons and/or purchase an extra key. I don't like the idea of only having one key.
Any good deals out there for keys? Or places that sell the buttons themselves?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Let's talk keys
I should add, I have looked on eBay but I try to order from a US source when possible. I wouldn't mind a flip key if I was able to find a couple.
Re: Let's talk keys
I had a key replaced under warranty, but the cost is only $45 from a dealer if you have to pay for it.

Re: Let's talk keys
Factory remote control door lock system has a 3-pushbutton or 4-pushbutton configuration--there is no version with 2 buttons--door unlock & trunk release only, at least that I'm aware of. Got a picture?
Coded key (fixed) - comes with replacement lock cylinder, or a key can be ordered from GM SPO already cut to match the vehicle lock cylinder--must have key code info for vehicle
http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/chevrolet/ ... t_name=key" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Uncut key (fixed) - requires local cutting by dealer or locksmith with correct equipment
http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/chevrolet/ ... t_name=key" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Transmitter - without remote start - includes pushbutton cover
http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/chevrolet/ ... ransmitter" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Pushbutton (cover) - 3 buttons (lock, unlock, trunk release--comes with transmitter above)

NOTE: for service replacement, as this part does wear with use
As far as a flip key, there is no US Chevrolet model that used the same lock cylinder, and a key recall has technically taken away the flip key option for both G8 & PPV (note that PPV was never offered with flip key).
You may still be able to find the GM flip key (for G8) PN 89027333, but I recall it was only possible to get it from GM when ordering a pre-cut key--and that has been discontinued because of the key recall.
Still listed, but I'm not sure if it can actually be purchased.

Flip key listed for G8--not clear if this is uncut or comes pre-cut with lock cylinder--assume it's uncut

Flip Key - the only option using US parts is the G8 flip key, blank PN 89027333 and it comes with a Pontiac arrowhead emblem. The only other option would be to find out if C.P. or someone in Australia can supply the Middle East equivalent with a Chevy bow tie. The flip key is a direct exchange with your existing key/transmitter--the 2 parts separate (not hard to do, once you figure it out) and the new (flip) key replaces the fixed key. The Camaro flip key will not work--different lock cylinder.
Key has to be cut using the key code provided with the PPV keys, unique to your vehicle--dealer orders the key with this information and it comes pre-cut.
Note: GM PART # 89027333 REQUIRES KEY TO BE OBTAINED THROUGH YOUR LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SUPPLY THIS KEY DUE TO SECURITY REASONS.

Re: Let's talk keys
I should have been more clear. My key is the standard key, but the rubber button is broken out of the "lock doors" button position hahaNavy Lifer wrote:Factory remote control door lock system has a 3-pushbutton or 4-pushbutton configuration--there is no version with 2 buttons--door unlock & trunk release only, at least that I'm aware of.

Re: Let's talk keys
And that's why the service replacement pushbutton (actually a cover), PN 92245049, is available separatelySiid wrote:....the rubber button is broken out of the "lock doors" button position
