There are multiple new products to the market that no longer require you to lose a key that are much less expensive than going to the dealer and buying a new coded key. GM's are no exception to this. They have modules that you can "flash" to bypass the passlock system.
I remember the first starter I did that had a chip in the key. I believe it was a 1998 Honda Accord. While on the phone with technical support for hours, they finally presented me with the solution. "Butcher the key".
No lie - I had to literally cut the key open and remove the tiny glass cylinder, wrap it 15-20 times with 28 gauge wire, run the wire around the key cylinder and run it to a relay to activate when the car was remotely started!
Given it took 2 days to finish that job, I lost money in that deal!
