Does anyone know if there is a DIY way to reprogram or reset the keyless entry for a Pontiac G6? I have heard there were ways on other GMs to do this but haven't found much on the G6. Is it a dealer only function?

Remote Control Door Lock Transmitter Programming
Important:
• Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle. The order in which the transmitters are programmed is important. The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter #2. Use care to program the transmitters correctly.
• The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.
• The keyless entry transmitters used in the Advance 2 Way Remote Start System isare unique to the system. When servicing or replacing a transmitter, ensure that the correct transmitter is used. The correct transmitter part number can be found in the Accessory section of the parts catalog. Attempting to replace an Advance 2 Way Remote Start transmitter with a regular service part will result in a failure to program the transmitter.
