Buying A Car Remote Online

What are the pros and cons of buying a replacement car remote online? The fattest drawback to buying a keyless entry remote or aftermarket alarm system keyfob on the Internet is that it can be very difficult to tell who you are doing business with. This makes it hard to assess the quality of products and service you are likely to receive. As with all Internet shopping, it is best to be cautious and choose cautiously where you shop. The other challenge when buying a car remote online is being sure you get the right part. There are literally thousands of different remotes for keyless entry and aftermarket alarm systems and there is no single authoritative part guide. Many online sellers make guesses about what part works for what situations. So be sure the website you are using makes you feel certain about the web seller’s product skill.

There are three main benefits to buying a replacement remote online. Very first, the cost of the part is likely to be lower than at an automobile dealership. 2nd, if your remote is user programmable, you can avoid the dealership’s charges for programming, which may be anywhere from $25 to $100. Third, if you are dealing with a quality web seller, you will receive programming instructions and free technical support with the part. This is very significant to getting the total value of your car remote purchase – the part will be worthless to you if you cannot program it.

Sorry not to have responded sooner. Yes, the two thousand one and two thousand three Grand Prix used the same remote for factory keyless entry applications, so you should be able to use the two thousand one remote on the two thousand three vehicle. However, the remote will require programming to “synch it” with the receiver in the two thousand three vehicle. If you have further questions about this, please let us know.

Yes, the two thousand one and two thousand three Pontiac Grand Prix use the same remote keyfob, a 4-button remote with FCC ID L2C0007T on the back. These vehicles had “on-board” programming, so you should be able to use the part from the two thousand one vehicle, program it yourself, and save money versus buying a fresh remote.
