I had access to a GM scan tool. You will have to bring it to the dealer to program to fob to your vehicle

They have to be programmed by a dealer. All of them do. Mine charged about $28.

Yes, this remote must be programmed by a dealer; it requires special equipment. My dealer quoted $25 for the service, but wound up doing it for free as a goodwill gesture.

I'm not sure. Our vehicle was shown on the Amazon "list" as being consumer programmed. However, it was not. The manufacturer DID try to help and offered to return our $$. He was very helpful. We in the end went to a Locksmith who had the capability of using a computer to program the unit. The locksmith was cheaper than the local GM dealership (who by the way wanted us to wait 2 weeks to get an appointment to program the unit! BAH) The units are identical to our current key fobs which were provided when we purchased the vehicle. I would use my vendor again.

You are going to have to program it yourself but it's very easy. Simply look up "1999 Pontiac Grand Prix key fob programming instructions" in Google and it'll give you step by step directions on how to do it. I did my car in less than 5 minutes

I did not see your item listed in the pre programed section. However if you have the original remote I can see no reason why you just can't program your remote to this one. You can find the manual on line for this remote and see how to do it. Good luck

Hey Jerry:You might be a little more successful than I was in programming the wireless remote!!! I am getting to the second to last step and no further!!! My plan is to purchase a new battery and see if this may work!!! I also have the same situation where the remote I had is very different to this one I purchased!!! I had also purchased this remote as it stated it could be used for a 2005 Camry and instructions for the remote came with it!!! Hope this response help some how!!!

More than likely you will need to take it to a GM dealer. 05 and after require programming in the computer. The dealer quoted me 35 bucks but did it for free

I bought this one for my 2005 Lacrosse. It looks identical to the factory remote. I purchased the factory remote at a Buick dealer for over $100 and they used a hand-held device to program it. They said within a year I could have it reprogramed. I will see if I can get this new one programed. Otherwise, I believe a lock smith could also program it for around $45. These things are not cheap, and require special equipment to lock in the code. The dealer sat under the steering wheel programing it, so I don't think there are consumer instructions.

Yes, its pretty easy to program the remote. I did it myself for my 03 Camry. The remote comes with programming instructions, takes less than 5 minutes. The programming is basically just switching on off the car multiple times, turning on the door lock and moving the gear stick and similar stuff. I have the remote for more than a year now and its working perfectly.

I took mine to a Pontiac dealer and they were not able to program the remote. I believe I have a problem with a module.

No. You have to take it to a service department that has the equipment to program it. I'd call a local dealer first. They may have a fob in stock.

The distributor will provide instructions to program and walk you through it, if you need it. I was at Buick so I just had mine programmed while there. Pontiac is a GM product so it should work, but I can't be positive. Jack

Mine works great. I tried programming it myself but couldn't get it to work. Went to my local Chevy dealer (Valley Chev) in Hastings, MN...They programmed it for free in less than five minutes.

I boght it for my camry because I lost my other remote and I used the programming instructions and it programmed perfectly.Actually I think I got the programming instructions off google. Don't know if instructions came with remote

I really doubt you'll be able to program this, yourself. I had to eventually give up and take mine to a dealer. A car mechanic I trust showed me the Oldsmobile shop manual and it clearly showed that only a dealer could program this remote.

No and yes. It will work but you must take it to a dealer, or locksmith with the right machine, to get it programmed. To program it yourself you must have a working FOB. This FOB cost just over half what my dealer wanted for one.

I have a 2005 G35 Coupe, and it works great for me. I bought 2, to go with my extra keys. I didn't program it myself, the dealership did when I had the spare key cut though.
