You need to take your car to a chevy dealer because they have the procedure for that, if tou call they wont help you by phone, they charge afee for that.

Dealer only If you find a different means let me know

No, its a Auto-Anti-Theft Unit, your best bet would be to buy a $100 kit from auto zone. The Stick unit is built that way because if you start it and walk away, I can use a blank key to unlock the ignition and drive off.

The easiest solution is to contact your dealer's parts/service department. They can search for installed option (dealer/factory only) by VIN and tell you if the car came with it when it was new.

From there, they can either order you a remote, or give you the FCC ID, and you can get one at AutoZone.
