2006 Escalade Ignition switch.

[holschuh11]

I purchased a 2006 escalade that the owner had lost the key, how hard and expensive would it be to replace the ignition switch without the key? Or could i have a locksmith make a key for the factory ignition? My 2006 silverado doesn't have a chip in the key so im assuming neither does the escalade?

 

Thanks for any help!!

No Chip Keys till 2007 ... so this says

 

Dealer can have a key made from the VIN (with whoever the name is on the title provided ...)

Locksmith may not have the GM code for the original key pattern (?)

ok thanks, i talked to the local dealership this evening. They said $60 for a new key. Not bad considering it would probably require a locksmith to tear apart the column to get a new one made.

Said just to bring title in my name and drivers license.

 

Thanks for the input!
