I have a 2007 Grand Prix GXP - I was told that the fobs for the GXP are "unique" - selling tactic I'm sure. Will this fob work for my car? It does contain the chip too, correct? Not just the cover. Need the whole thing, mine is short circuiting. Thanks!

Ann, yo have to verify the code stamped on the back cover to be sure it works with your system. If the code is correct then it will work. Mine came with batteries and programmed to my car fine. (Pontiac G6) The dealer charged $40 to program both remotes in and removed the old ones.

Hi; I think this a "hit or miss" proposition. I received a unit that did not work with my 2003 Honda Accord. I then worked with their customer service to get a replacement sent, and that one works. Plus, in reading other reviews, I came to the conclusion this scanner appears to have trouble with older vehicles (pre 2004 ?), and not so much the newer (post 2005 ?) vehicles. The return policy is you have to pay return shipping to China, which far exceeds the cost of the scanner. So, if you buy the scanner and it does not work, you may need to be prepared to "contact seller" to try to get a replacement (as I did). Did you try the BAFX scanner? That brand worked the first time in my Honda. Hi; I think this a "hit or miss" proposition. I received a unit that did not work with my 2003 Honda Accord.

there should be a number on the back of your key fob, that's what I used to find this one (XT-33). My old one broke off my key ring so I just swapped out the insides (board) and didn't worry about programming it.....this worked great for me. Hope this was helpful.

I really could not tell you....I got it to work on my second try with help from a friend...we both read the instructions again and we figured it out.Sorry all I can tell you is it works great for me. Just make sure you have the right fob.

It worked perfect on my grand prix, no modification. I know they recommend changing in pairs but is was no issue and easy installation.

Got my fob thru Discount Keyless along with the programming instructions...worked great. Unfortunately, I can't find the instruction sheet they sent me. They may help you out.

I don't have an aftermarket alarm so not sure. I do know that the fob is programmed by communicating with the vehicle itself so anything that wasn't stock i don't believe would be the same. Wouldn't an aftermarket alarm have its own fob though?

Greg, I did not post that comment so I cannot respond to your question. I purchased a key fob approx. 4 weeks ago and mine worked fine and has since.

It does not have the stock setting already programmed in. When first connected it will save whatever program already installed as the stock setting. If you take it to the dealership, they may flash the ECM/PCM with updates. This will make you have to contact Superchip to reset your programmer.

I bought the 4 button remote entry key to replaced my original key because the case on my original key broke. I had it cut at the dealer and just transfered my transponder chip because it does not come with it, unfortunately, even i had cut at the dealer, it did not work. I'ved tried to programmed it, but the car just keep cranking without starting.hope this will help.

It is the whole thing. Electronics and all. Read your owners manual on how to program the fob. The directions that come with it do not help.

I tried it in my '04 Gran Prix which is a push in and it work perfectly. It ejected as it is supposed to do without an issue. Maybe someone else has a different experience. But this player was the reason I purchased it. Hope this helps!

I'm going to say no. I'm in the same boat and was wondering the same thing. It looks like this item only reads some codes, gives some vehicle data, but that's about it. You can't send commands through it (release EPB) or re-program existing functionality (needle sweep on start) of the vehicle. I'll be sticking with the more expensive one out there and know I have something that works. Charge people who want to use it to cover my cost.

Did you put the insides from the old key fob inside of the new fob? If you did and it's still not working it could be your immobilizer chip. If it is you'll have to probably get it towed into a vw dealership to get the chip replaced and reprogrammed to the car. That's all I can think of. My key worked just fine except for the buttons but it ended up my battery in the key was dead.

There is a vehicle specific chip housed with the buttons that must be programmed by the dealership. While I don't know for sure if you can buy one from a 3rd party retailer, I can share a few tid bits of info. 1. Honda wont guarantee any key to work for you unless bought from them. 2. The dealership can absolutely provide you with a new one, but we are talking $100-200 price range. 3. If you do find a new one 3rd party, you will have to still take it to the dealership and be overcharged. There is no way of getting around being rippednl off by your local Honda dealer in this case. If you bought the vehicle direct from them you can potentially negotiate a discount.

I had the same concern and had my Infiniti dealer program it and it worked just fine. I asked the infiinti Service Rep look at it before programming for some assurance that it would work - he flt it would but there was no gaurantee. The dealer made it clear they would charge me for programming whether it worked or not. I have a 2010 G37 XS.

Hi, My wife owns a 2008 Chevy Malibu and she had been having all kinds of trouble getting the doors to lock/unlock with her original OEM key fob, I found out by troubleshooting the keypads on her old fob and by placing aluminum foil on the pads inside of the old fob, I was able to get all of the functions to work, so I ordered just the fob without the circuit board and placed her circuit board in the new case and it is still working very well. I also ordered a complete fob just incase the housing was not the solution and there was no programming necessary, for the new fob worked great also which gives her a spare set of keys with fob, Mike.
