Pontiac Solstice Keyless Entry Remote Fobs
Keyless entry remote fobs can be replaced the same way that keys can be. If you need a new keyless entry remote for your Pontiac Solstice, then you should be able to program one without needing to go back to the dealership. Each remote comes with a simple set of instructions that makes programming it easy.
How does keyless entry remote programming work without a locksmith?Your new remote will come with programming instructions. More than likely, youll need to be inside your car when programming your replacement key fob. If youve lost your old remote, then you may also want to reset the keyless entry system before you put in a new code for your new remote. While different remote units come with different instructions, GM made it so that the Solstice has one unified method of coding a remote so these will differ only slightly.
Do all keyless entry remotes work with every Pontiac Solstice?The Solstice was a limited edition, so every remote should work with each version of the car. Check to make sure that your car supports remote locking. GM lists this in the owners manual in a section about remote entry. You might also look for a wireless key that supports the type of car alarm you have installed.
Will a replacement key fob look like the original?If youre looking for a replacement that matches your original set of car keys, look for a replacement thats made by GM. Pontiac produced a number of replacement blank key sets that feature the official logo on the key fob. For something different, aftermarket companies have made a number of different key fob designs. If your vehicle is like many GM cars, then it should support up to four different key fob units at once. This means you can code both types of key fobs if youd like.
Will transmitters allow you to also use a regular key?You shouldnt have any problem using your regular key no matter which transmitter you select. You can still open your vehicle with your key and start it up by putting the key into the ignition. The ring on your fob will also provide a convenient place for your regular vehicle key.
Will a single remote work with more than one vehicle?No. You program the unit to work with a single vehicle. This is a built-in bit of security that all GM cars have.
