u can program the remote yourself. i copy and paste this from nother site.


I pulled the interior fuse cover from the passenger seat.
I located and pulled the 10A fuse for the Radio (labeled RDO).
I turned the car to the on position to verify the radio was disabled.
I turned the car back off and removed the keys.
I waited 30 seconds (I'm a Network Engineer, we always wait thirty seconds after unplugging something).
I put the fuse back into the correct spot.
I then held down the lock and unlock key on the keyfob at the same time till the locks on the doors activated.
I then tested the keyfob and made sure it was locking and unlocking the doors and activating the security system.
This process did reset my security settings on her car so I had to go through the reset process (holding in the information and reset key at the same time then following the prompts).

The keyfob now works, and I didn't have to pay some ******* dealer $50 for 15 seconds.

After looking at the keyless fix I thought I'd try and invent one myself. I ended up putting a piece of aluminum foil in each of the indents of the lock and unlock buttons in the rubber part. After I put it back together it worked like a charm. Cost - $0 Time - 15 seconds

Does this actually work for the 2006 Cobalt? I'm too lazy to go to the dealership

So i was wondering if i could order the key fob off of ebay for around $10-$20 an then get it programmed by the stealership an maybe what price that would cost me if anyone would know.
send it to me ill warranty it lol. no joke
