How Pontiac key programming works
Pellet and PASSLock keys need only the right cut, plus a relearn if the ignition was replaced. Transponder Pontiacs use the GM diagnostic relearn, up to thirty minutes on some years. The Vibe programs like a Toyota.
Things to know before you call about a Pontiac
- A Grand Am or Sunfire that cranks but will not start usually needs the PASSLock relearn, not a new key.
- The Pontiac Vibe takes a Toyota key, not a GM one; the dispatcher will bring the right blank.
Pricing for Pontiac keys
Pellet and plain Pontiac keys are inexpensive; transponder keys cost more for the programming. Quoted flat for your model.

Pontiac key questions
Can you make a key for a Pontiac now that the brand is gone?
Yes. Pontiac keys are GM keys and we make them at your car.
Does my Grand Am key have a chip?
No. It is a PASSLock system with a plain key and a sensor in the ignition, so a cut key works.
