How to Program a New Key Fob

I recently bought a new key fob for my 1999 Grand Prix GTP. The old remote works about half the time so I got a new one, but I can't get it programmed. I've searched it and tried all kinds of ways, but none of them seem to work, and not looking to spend the money by taking it to a dealer. Any suggestions on how to program it?
 


I tried that link, and I couldn't get it to work after several attempts. Maybe it's just my car, because I've tried nearly everything. Haha, thanks for the help anyways.
 
Did you figure out the problem with the remotes??? was it the receiver??? if so where is it located???

thanks Doug
 
No, I never got the problem with my key fob figured out. Took it by the local dealership and they were talking around $75 to do it. Too much for me.
 


Ask the dealership to print out the instructions it will take you a little trial and error took me about 25 minutes to do it

The instructions are posted in like the second post of this thread also the instructions are in your owners manual.

OP did you buy the correct key? Just because the eBay add says it works with your car does not mean it is the right fob, I could never figure out why my key fob had the buttons switched around until I was doing some searching and found out that I had the wrong key fob. Your car has 2 options for the keyfob either the 3 button part number 10246216 or the 4 button part number 10246216.
 
just changed the battery in the car and just wont program. they have fresh battery's and worked great just before the battery change in the car
