Bring it back and insist the dealer gets you a remote.

What model '05 is this? Only certain models come with the key fob with remote start. My '08 GXP has it.

The SPID label located under the spare tire cover in the trunk area has the GM RPO codes for keyless entry and other options. Let me know if you need them.

Plus the numbers on the back of the key fob have to match the vehicle.Any dealership will tell you which one it is with the VIN on hand.

So you have a base model so high probability you do not have remote start keyless entry system. You have to know what the codes mean. The GM RPO code for basic keyless entry is AU0. For keyless entry with remote start it is AP3. So see if the SPID label has either of these codes.

now thats messed up cause it dont have either. but i know it has a keyless entry. da only A codes it had where these AG1,AK5,AP9,AR9,n A85 soo now wut. and a friend has a standard 05 GP came with auto start

Send me a Private Message with your VIN number and we can check to see if your Grand Prix should have the remote keyless entry feature.

I got him squared away Bob. His car came with just standard remote start. It's kinda odd, because he has no option codes for it, but it shows a receiver and transmitter for his VIN.

Thanks Rich. So just standard ignition with no remote start option.

On the factory remote start feature applicable to to '04 and up model Grand Prixs there is more than meets the eye and the system is quite interesting. Obviously a BCM module is needed that supports the feature along with other hardware and most likely an enhanced DIC since all keyless entry and remote start functions are displayed on the DIC. At least that is what my GXP has. Big improvement over the previous generation.

I'm jealous!

[AntiBroke]

thanks!! im glad at least that i have the keyless entry atleast!!
But now im looking how to program it without paying to do it when i can just do it, need to find how any help there???

Don't look too far because you cannot program the key fob yourself. A GM Tech II scan tool is required which means a visit to a GM dealership. Charge could range from $20 - $80 or free depending on your service history with the dealership.

What???? youre kidding right? i been riding around and they sell you the programing intructions. or you get it when you buy the remote so what they sayn is a bunch of bull?

Nope! For example we have the programming instructions posted for the '05 - '08 GXP model but it doesn't do any good without a GM Tech II scan tool. See link below. '04 and up - base, GT and GTP/Comp G are the same.
