my manual says it comes with a theft deterrent system but i cant figure it out lol

google your cars options list. chances are its just key less entry. there are rpo codes on the trunk lid under side, its a big sticker.

theft deterrent may just mean the chip in the key. its a security deal, no chip and the car wont stay running.

if your car has an alarm i believe it will set form turning the key to lock it correct? Also there is a red light that flashes on the dash when the alarm is on. So if this is the case role down your window and turn the key to set the alarm then unlock it from the inside lock and open the door and it will go off. I have accidently done this a few times.

Heres a quick way to check if it has a alarm, Roll down windows, take key out car, lock doors, wait a min then manually unlock door from inside and open, if alarm goes off you have one, if not then u dont

alright but again, is it possible to install keyless entry without having an alarm?

your car should have keyless entry so yes as easy as buy a fob or 2 and program them. directions are all over the place. and in the owners manual as well.

**nickgpgt** · 05-23-2013

alright i was just curious because the one i was going to buy says its for my model but alarm only

**Scottydoggs** · 05-23-2013

goes back to them rpo codes on the trunk lid. google would be your friend, rpo codes are out there. find the one for a alarm and see if you have it.

**nickgpgt** · 05-23-2013

I know lol I guess Im not asking the question right, what I mean is I dont need an alarm I just want keyless entry

Grand Prixs Of North America • View topic - RPo Codes 97-03 i did 1/2 the leg work, the rest is up to you......

I didnt mean to ask you to do anything for me lol but thanks

Yes, you can buy keyless entry kits.

Ok I'm misunderstanding something. I have a 2004 GTP COMP G and all I got when I bought it was the key. I'm pretty sure it has an alarm (performed above test) but I don't have a clicker to arm/disarm it. How do I go about getting one ? Where to buy and how to program ? Thanks

call a dealer ship with your vin, they can tell you if it has a factory alarm, or just key less entry. then go but the fob your car needs on line for far less then the dealer.

if you only have one key, buy another asap.
