Remote & Key
- Thread starter harleyvette
- Start date
When I had my C5 it only came with one key and no remote fob...so I ordered a spare key from the dealer at the time. I think it was about $55 but that was a number of years ago. I never bothered to get the fob...it was easy enough to open the doors and hatch with the regular key.

Some Canadian Tire outlets at one time at least were able to do that but perhaps not for the more advanced units out now . Prices were really good. Might be worth a 2 minute phone call.
