I had the same Key on my Audi and it cost me just a shade under $500 for the Key, cutting and programming. Haven't inquired on the Camaro but the system is similar so I'd bet it will be close to or equally expensive. Good luck. Hope you find the original

The key/fob costs around $60. Most dealers can't cut those style keys (lazer cut) so they order them already cut for your vehicle. Dealers also charge to program it.

o boy...

you can program the key yourself it only takes 5 seconds.

jshaf · 04-12-2011, 03:32 PM

ye will cost about 60ish to order it precut to you vehicle, you need to have your Vin # so they can cut it to match the vehicle. if you go to the link earlier in the the thread there is an explanation I posted on here about a year ago on how to program it youself.
