Seeking info on keys and fobs - 2003 Malibu
Hello - first post. I just picked up a 2003 Malibu LS yesterday. It came with one key and one key fob remote. I'd like to get a couple of others added.
My impression is that the 2003 key is just a key, it doesn't have any chip and isn't "read" by the system, so can I just get keys made anywhere that has a GM key?
I see keyfobs for sale at places like Amazon, with the claim that they're much cheaper than the dealer. My impression though is that a 2003 Malibu requires the dealer to program the keyfob and they have to do all of the fobs at one time. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
