How to Set the Keyless Entry for a 2001 Grand Prix

Locking and unlocking your car is as simple as pressing a button on your car's remote. Many vehicles come with keyless entry systems, including the 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix. If you get a new remote, you need to program it to work on your car. Setting the keyless remote on the Grand Prix is a bit more involved than on other cars, but the process is still fairly straightforward and requires no tools.
