Numbered key fob

I just picked up my '05 base Grand Prix today. It only came with one remote. It has the number "2" on the back side. If I had the "1" remote as well, do these numbered remotes mean I can have different things programed to each remote? ie - radio stations, power seat, mirrors.

I flipped through the owners manual once and didn't find anything. I also searched here and I may be using different search terms as I'm not having much luck coming up with an answer.
 


As far as I know, it simply means set #2. We have several Chevy pickups at work with keyless entry and they each have two sets of keys. They have 1 and 2 on the back of the fob.
 
You can have up to four remotes coded for your car. If you look on the back of your remote it should have a GM/L #. That number has to match on all the remotes, and I can pretty much guarantee that any 2002 remote won’t be compatible. Also, I have never heard of a GP with individual presets (for seats/mirrors and such) depending on what key/remote you use. I recently set up a spare remote for my car, expect to pay at about $20 bucks for the remote and $50 to have the dealership code it.:( And yes the dealership has to code it, but who knows they might do it pro gratis. Also be aware that if you buy the remote from a dealer it will cost about $100, I bought mine from Midwest Keyless for much less.:th_thumbsup-wink:
 
Also, I think I read here you can buy the PK3 key on e-bay and program it yourself if you follow the steps posted. The key was $10 or so when I looked into getting a spare.
 
Ekeys comes to my dealership several times a week. Next time I see him I'll ask what it'll cost for another key and remote. Thanks.
