**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 08:19 AM

what do you mean "key code"? as in to make a new door or ignition key?

1994supercharedta · 01-15-2006, 08:22 AM

both!!!! i lost my keys.

**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 08:24 AM

give a dealer parts dept your vin, they can get you both for something like 50 bucks, or you can probably just get the codes from them and have em made somewhere cheaper

1994supercharedta · 01-15-2006, 08:27 AM

so theres not a key code on the car? can walmart make me the keys?

**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 08:29 AM

They can't make you one to start it cause you need the resistor in the key. You'll have to go to a locksmith once you find out what resistor value you had

1994supercharedta · 01-15-2006, 08:38 AM

damn i didnt know that i thought it was a plane jane key. i think it is man, are you sure it has a resistor? its a 1994

**ss~zoso~ss** · 01-15-2006, 08:50 AM

i'm sure they all have that little black chip on them even some of the third gen firebirds, and camaros have them

**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 08:55 AM

fron 1985 and up they have them in corvettes, and I am pretty sure camaro got them late 80s early 90s. Unless somebody bypasses your VATS like I did mine you should have a black pellet in your ignition key. The door key is plain though

1994supercharedta · 01-15-2006, 09:21 AM

it was black at the handle the part you twist. but my 1994 chevrolet pickup has the same key and they dont use resistors.

Did it look like the key in the pic here? http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech2.html#pass_key

**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 09:34 AM

Your truck didn't have one, but really, I think the camaro should have. Yeah both would have been black at the top

**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 09:36 AM

Eitehr way you'll have to go to the dealer for the code, then you will also know if it had a resistor or not. You could also look under your dash for two tiny wires wrapped in an orange shrinkwrapish plastic, there will be a plug a few inches from there they come out of the steering column, if you have the wires you have the pellet

1994supercharedta · 01-15-2006, 09:39 AM

8030519857 THATS THE EBAY NUMBER OF WHAT MINE LOOKED LIKE AND I READ IT N STUFF
i guess you guys are right! how do i find out the resistor number? will it still be only 50 at the dealer?

**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 09:42 AM

yeah it'll probably be that much or so. They will know the resistor value from your VIN. I measured the value of my resisitor and just bought a resistor for a dollar to wire up under the dash, now I can use regular keys.

1994supercharedta · 01-15-2006, 09:44 AM

lol what should i do? is it harder to steal?

quicky06 · 01-15-2006, 09:47 AM

i work at an ACE hardware and we can make em. the ignition costs like $25.00 and all we do is take one of your keys and put ti in a little box with like 13 lights and which ever one lights up thats the key you need. then the door key key cost 2 bucks

**oneBADDz** · 01-15-2006, 09:47 AM

you're gonna have to go to a dealer to find your value, either that or buy all 15 different values of resistor and try them one by one lol. They may take forever because every time you try a wrong one your security system shuts the system down for 2-10 minutes. If someone is gonna steal it they are gonna steal it regardless I think. I bypassed mine so any key could be used, but I installed remote start and it has a starter kill so a key won't work without the remote to my system anyways. I'd just go to a dealer and get the right key if I were you
