Programming a remote (keyless entry)

[Dennis Ferguson]

I have a 1999 Pontiac Grand AM and I just purchased a used remote.
The remote has an FCC ID K0BUT1BT and GM/UTA number on the back.
There are so many ways to program remotes I need to be sure I am
doing it the correct way.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have the programming procedure for programming keyless entry for the 99 grand am.....

Transmitter Programming:

1)With the driver door closed, hold down the power unlock button on the door panel.
2)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
3)Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position
4)Turn the ignition switch to the ON position
5)Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position
6)Release the power unlock button on the door panel.
The remote control door lock reciever will respond in the following manner in order to indicate that the receiver is in the programming mode:

6.1)Locking the doors
6.2)Unlocking the doors

IMPORTANT:
All extra transmitters must be programmed at this time. When a new transmitter is programmed it will deactivate the old transmitters.

7)Hold down the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter until the remote control door lock reciever will respond in the following manner:

7.1)Locking the doors
7.2)Unlocking the doors
Repeat step 7 for each additional transmitter
9) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position in order to exit the transmitter programming mode.

There... your little GM secret is finally known... Now can someone out there start posting these program codes for the rest of us! Hope this helps....


P.S.
your welcome

This is why it don't work. This is one you need a scan tool for. Stupid Idea. The procedures are different for each car, and model year, the one mitch supplied looks like the one for older silverado trucks, not sure though.


Transmitter Programming
A remote door lock receiver may have up to 4 different transmitters programmed. You may program a transmitter to more than 1 vehicle providing the remote keyless entry systems are similar. When reprogramming 1 transmitter, reprogram any and all other transmitters (maximum of 4 total per receiver) at the same time in order for the other transmitters to work.


Important
Leave a window down in the vehicle while reprogramming the remote control door lock receiver system. This procedure will avoid an unintentional lock out if the reprogramming is not performed properly.


Turn off the ignition.
Utilize a Tech 2 to program the remote door lock receiver.
Enter diagnostics (F0).
Enter body (F1); select the year (X) and body style (N).
Select "Remote Function Actuation" (F3).
Select "Special Functions" (F2).
Select "Program Transmitters" (F0).
Select the number of transmitters to program (1-4)
Follow the on-screen instructions; press continue, wait for the locks to cycle, hold the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 15-30 seconds, the locks will cycle again.
Exit the vehicle. Attempt to lock/unlock the doors to verify the programming.
Perform the following steps if the above procedure does not program the transmitter.
Reconnect the Tech 2.
Enter service programming (F1).
Press the "REQUEST INFO" key.
Select "Reprogram Existing Module"
Exit the vehicle and remove the Tech 2.
Follow the existing procedure to reflash the body control module.
