    I bought a compatible key fob, and i've been going through the steps like crazy and have referenced many sites but i just CAN'T get my 97 gt into programming mode. Im in the drivers seat, buckled, mall pgm fuse out, and i turn the key to ACC, back to off, Back to ACC, open and shut the door, but it doesnt give me that beep! any remedies? this is driving me crazy i just want keyless entry so bad.

    also when I go from ACC-off-ACC in less than a second, the seat belt indicator chimes in this pattern- 2chimes-pause-3chimes-pause-4chimes. I don't think this is what im supposed to be hearing?

    well i bought a "compatible" key fob for my 99GT as well and it didn't program. make sure you are turning the key backwards. i know our cars doesn't label ACC.
    it should chime like that though.
    just dont hold the buttons for too long. i usually let go right after the second or third chime and it seems to program.

    otherwise, keyfob from the dealer.

    Wait doesnt 2 chimes mean there is no remote entry system in the bcm? I thought it had to be 3 chimes or more.

    hell i got a LOT of chimes. but the trick was to let off the buttons after i think it was 6 or 7, something like that. took me a few times to get it programmed.
