Thread: 02 GP GT Coupe Security Question???

Great to know. So hopefully tomorrow when I pull that dash apart, I could find an original somewhere. As for the bulb, yes, it's friggin annoying, especially at night. I wonder why they sell these keys like that if there are so many different combos of resistors. Kind of sucks if you ask me. I'm glad at least that I'll be able to enter the car and exit using the Fob. That will be nice. I got the repair manual this morning so I have to start reading up on some stuff. Thanks again Keith for the help.

They sell those keys because they can be programmed. But you need the original key in order to program it.
