programming remote 01 Lasebre

Anyone know if you can reprogram the 01 buicks for new remotes like the older ones or do you have to go to dealer? Thanks for any help

The dealer will have to program this one for you unless you know someone who has a scan tool..

<H4>Important</H4><P>All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door

lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence.

If the system is placed in program mode, all previously programmed transmitters

will be erased upon the receipt of the programming signal from

the first transmitter. Up to four transmitters may be programmed. Do not operate

or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in

the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters

to the incorrect vehicle. The order in which the transmitters are programmed

is important. The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter&nbsp;#1,

and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter&nbsp;#2. The number

on the transmitters are for reference only:&nbsp;#2 can be programmed as&nbsp;#1,

or vice versa. Additional unnumbered transmitters are also available. Use

care to program the transmitters correctly.</P>

What is a fair price for a dealer to do program the remote? I have been quoted $70 and $45; is this price range fair, or should I keep looking?
