Programming Keyless Remote

[vdsteelman]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and really need some help. I just purchased a 2004 Grand Prix and it came w/ one keyless remote. I purchased another remote as a spare and need to know how to program it! I've searched online and have had no luck. Please help with suggesstions and/or help.

Thanks all,

Ben

I thought that was something that was supposed to be done by the dealership.

Evidently I guess you can do it yourself...it seems a bit tricky, but it's worth a shot I guess.

wait...i found this on google...it's for a 98 Grand Prix, maybe it's the same steps for an 04

Reprogramming RKE Transmitters

We just bought a 98 GP GTP and only recieved one set of keys and remote. Searching through these posts I found many different instructions on programming a new remote.

Here are the correct steps to program the 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.
