The GM transponder key, and how we set one up.
GM keys on the B99 and B112 profiles have a habit of losing their heads. The plastic splits, the blade spins, and sooner or later the chip inside is sitting loose in a cupholder. This listing is the replacement housing for those keys: a new head and an uncut blade with no transponder inside. It turns into a working key once we transfer your original chip into it and cut the blade to match your ignition. Because the car already recognises that chip, there is normally no programming involved, which makes a shell repair a sensible fix when the electronics are fine and only the case has failed. Which one is yours? B99 and B112 are both GM blade profiles that look alike to most people, and they are not interchangeable. Bring the old key, or the pieces of it, and we will match it on the counter. If you are ordering ahead, ask us to confirm for your trim/year. Two cautions. A shell cannot fix a chip that has been crushed or lost; for that you need a complete transponder key. And if you drive a car with a separate keyless remote, that remote is unaffected by this repair. Bring whatever is left of the key, and we will take it from there.
How to order. Call with the SKU. We confirm the price, the stock and the fit, then cut, program or fit it. Items in stock are usually ready the same day.

How it works, and what to know.
Before you call
- One listing covers 13 model years, 1997 to 2009, so we confirm your exact year and trim before cutting.
- This is the case only. Your existing circuit board, battery and chip move across, so it does not need programming to the car.
- B99 is the industry code for the blade or immobiliser system on this key. Quote it if you call around for prices.
- Canada made engine immobilisers mandatory on new cars from September 2007, so every year from then on in this range has a chip in the key.

Can you program this key to my car?
If the FCC ID or part number matches your key, yes. We program it at the counter or at your car.
Do I need the car there?
For programming, yes. The key is paired to the car itself.
My key looks the same but the FCC ID differs. Will it work?
No, it will not program. Match the FCC ID, not the look.
Can you erase a lost key?
Where the car allows it, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory when we program the new one.
What ID do you need?
Photo ID, and the registration or insurance in your name.
