It's the one on the left for sure for ours....

I spoke verbally with the United dealer and the quote I'm awaiting for to confirm it, is a smigen more than what DB had posted , but in that ballpark....

Basically, I have 4 options which I'll bullet list for the wiki. Still debating pros/cons of it

- New OE key at $140 (I know the quality of them as my 2 OE keys lasted 12-13 years). I believe at least one of these keys each may have survived a laundry cycle, maybe some water spray on the beach, or even a dousing via a jet ski I know to avoid the water but sometimes sh1t happens


- 3rd Party Shell/Key/Circuit Boards - ~bundled deal with 2 keys~ is a bit over $200....and you get 2 master remotes. Theoretically, I might get 3 out of this deal, if while in the EWS, he just sees that the one that just went bad is out of sync. There's always that possibility but I don't have any diag tools on hand to confirm.


- GMFob Repair. Repair for both keys is less than $140 for both I estimate. But, the shell is now cut and resealed, so I'm not sure about the sealproofness. I still will have a 13 year old key, assuming he's not swapping out the guts by repairing them. (what would suck was if the battery goes bad during the final ownership of this vehicle but based in GM5's post, he's very adamant the batteries on these things just keep on going and rarely go bad)

That's all I've come up sofar in my research.
