Be careful buying the cheap ones on Ebay or amazon. Some work and some don't. I have seen some only last a year and then completely stop working.
Just buy OEM. The actual GM fobs arent all that expensive in the grand scheme of things.
The other fun bit... These Chinese ebay specials usually share the same encryption/rollover keys... So if you get lucky, you might park in a local airport , Walmart, target, etc... and when you go to unlock your vehicle, you might unlock six others whose owners did the same thing... Or one of them might unknowingly unlock yours...
