    I dont know if this is just my GP or all of them but a lot of different keys can unlock my door. Two of my friends, both with different cars unlocked my door. A cavalier key fits in there perfectly. Is this just me or is anyone else having this problem?

    I honestly don’t know what the chances are of that happening. But I do know from a conversation with a locksmith a couple years ago, the ignition is mainly secured by the Pass3 chip. Not the physical key itself, apparently GM may have went to far with this.

    I've heard of people walking up to the wrong car, unlocking it, starting it, then realizing "Oh ****... this isn't my car." Cavalier, so no pass key but regardless, thats a little sad...

    When i was working as an auto inspector for leased GM vehicles, i learned that there is like a 1 in 17 chance that your key will work in another car.
    Good move GM
