The keyless entry key-fob for the The Beast comes in two parts.
The rear part with the buttons is the remote transmitter. The front part with the key-blade is the key.
Surprisingly, for a GM keyless fob, both parts are very affordable.
The bottom one is an ebay cludge to get a flip-key instead of the fixed blade.
Tonight I discovered that the part numbers for the 2011-2013 Caprice PPV are the same as the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8.
While the Caprice never came with a flip-key, the G8 did!
I think I will wander over to the local Chevy dealer and see if they have the flip-end and have it cut for my key from the fixed example. Might have to put up with it having a Pontiac logo, but... hey!
What's also interesting is they're programmed separately from each other. The key section by starting the car with a known-good key then shutting it off and using the new key to start the car within 10 seconds of shutting it down. The transmitter section is done from a programming mode reached from the driver information center.
