In other words unless it is from an exact same Grand Prix it must be programmed/re-programmed. The VIN number has to be programmed in.

The other option is just get a re-programmed performance PCM module from a U.S. supplier like ZZP, PFYC, etc. $99.00 (US). Some ship to Canada but there will be shipping costs and customs duties which will include getting the core back for the core deposit refund which is around $100.00 (US).

Thanx so much! and he said the terminal is totally gone, $600 with labour and i know that messing with em is a bad idea, will he reprogram in vin, does he have to for new one, exact match?
