I have a 2006 pontiac gto that I am trying to program a new remote transmitter.

I am stuck on the very first step!
You know how i have to leave the key on the ON position for 10 minutes to hear a chirp from the horn? yeah, it doesnt chirp.

what am i doing wrong? where is the ON position on these cars? its not labeled, so i cant really be sure.

On is just short of engaging the starter. The same position you drive in. Are you using a brand new unprogrammed key?

no i am using a used OEM remote i bought. He said the remote worked... thats not my problem right now. my issue is getting the car to honk after leaving the key in there for 10 minutes.. its not doing it

you cant reprogram remote once it was assign to car. only brand new one will work.

^^^ and there's you answer. I'm surprised as you apparently found a thread on programming but somehow missed you can't reuse keys. . .
