Keyless Entry For A 97 Vette

[BanditTransAm]

Ya hey guys, I have another small question. Being as I dont want to pay some jackass on a website $10 to find out how to program a Keyless entry remote to my car, could anyone here help me?

I've found plenty of GM remotes on EBay for $20, just need to know how to program it to my specific car. Also, anyone know if I have to get a Remote for a Vette or will any GM remote work? Thanks!

Has to be the one for a vette. Part # 10253839 should do the trick. It also HAS to be for a 97-99 as the 00-04's are different. The part number above is for the 4 button one w/passive switch. Like I said it must be for a 97-99 or else it won't work.

***Reprogramming****

1-Turn the ignition to RUN
2-Turn the radio off
3-Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC warning messages
4-Press the Option button on the DIC until the IPC display is blank in order to enter the program mode
5-Press and hold the Reset button for 3 seconds
6-Press the option button until FOB Training message is displayed
7-Press the Reset button in order to begin the programming sequence.
8-Simultaneously press and hold the lock an unlock buttons on the first transmitter for 12 seconds. The IPC will indicate when that transmitter is programmed and when to proceed to the next. Repeat this step for each transmitter.

****Synchronizing****

Synchronizing. Hold lock and unlock button at the same time for 20-40 sec. The horn will beep.
