Try the procedure below. If it doesn't work, then you'll need a remote for a Grand Prix. The GM part numbers are different but it would not hurt to give it a try. Good luck!

Programming remotes for a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix.

1 Get in car and close all doors.
2 Pull the “mall pgm” fuse.
3 Insert key and turn ignition to ACCESSORY. (back 1)
a. Listen for bell(s).
b. Turn ignition off and quickly back to ACCESSORY.
4 Open and close door.
a. Should hear 1 bell to confirm diagnostic mode.
5 Press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the RKE transmitter.
a. Hold buttons for approx. 15 seconds.
b. Bell should chime after 7 seconds, continue to hold for second bell.
6 Repeat step 5 for each transmitter. (max 4) (1 bell after 1st transmitter.)
7 Turn ignition off.
8 Replace “mall pgm” fuse.
9 Open Doors.
10 Test transmitters

NOTE: Have all of your remotes on hand when starting this process. Resetting one will cause all others to not function. You must reset all devices at the same time.

send me the #'s on the back of your remote and i can tell you if they are right

The numbers on the back are as fallows:

GM/LEAR 25695955
FCC ID: KOBLEAR1XT
CANADA:3521 102 1718

I know it is a stupid question but I am cheap....Please let me know.

PS...what is the part number I should be looking for???

the gm # is the most important. the one you have will not work on the gp's. i got mine on ebay new for under 10 bucks and programmed it myself using the method above. the best way to check is to email gmpartsdirect with your vin or call the pontiac deal with your vin and either can verify what remote you need. here is one i found on ebay:

Yes, has to be the 10246215 remote.
