A C5 VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) Ignition Key Blank is a special key blank that is designed to work with the VATS system on a 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette (C5 generation). The VATS system is a security feature that was used on many GM vehicles in the 1990s and early 2000s to help prevent theft.

The C5 VATS Ignition Key Blank is unique in that it contains a resistor pellet that is encoded with a specific value. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch, the VATS system reads the resistance value of the pellet and compares it to the value programmed into the vehicle’s computer. If the values match, the system allows the engine to start. If the values do not match, the system disables the starter and fuel pump, preventing the engine from starting.

The C5 VATS Ignition Key Blank is designed to be used as a replacement key for a C5 Corvette that uses the VATS system. If a key is lost or damaged, it is important to replace it with a key that contains the correct resistor value to ensure that the VATS system functions properly.

Overall, the C5 VATS Ignition Key Blank is an important component of the security system on a 1997-2004 Corvette, and it helps to ensure that only authorized individuals are able to start and drive the vehicle.

Great service. Very fast delivery. I had a little problem with getting a hardware store to agree to cut the key, but that had nothing do to with Dino’s. The key, once cut, works perfectly. All the best to Dino’s Corvette Salvage Company, and will use them again for C5 Corvette parts.
