I've had very good luck with this Ebay seller; http://stores.ebay.com/mykeyless Dependable seller who includes programming instructions.
Here's a link- scroll to the post by Qslim- it has scanned pictures of the manual directions for programming the fob. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=212679&highlight=fob+programming
Due to the fact that it is so early in the model year for vehicles, 02/13/2011 at the time of this writing, the instructions for programming the FOB' or REMOTES for you Chevrolet Impala is not yet available. I am working with a member of a local Chevrolet dealership to develop step by step instructions on how to successfully complete this task. Once developed and tested I will enter the instructions on this web site.
trying to set up and program 2003 Nissan altima key fob
The fob may be defective or it may have lost programming.
Turn off radio, leave ignition in accessory position... hold in tuner knob until it beeps into programming, and toggle into FOB Programming. Hold lock and unlock near dashboard for a few seconds. This should accomplish the task. Make sure your FOB is for an '01 Impala and the battery is good. Instructions are listed in the owners manual on how to do this. NOTE: If you have an aftermarket radio, then you are out of luck, as the Factory SRS Radio controls many of the ammenities of the vehicle.
It is possible to program one key fob to use on two different cars. If the key fob uses a primitive fixed code system, programming two cars will not work.
MODELS: 1995 - 1998 (FJ) Avenger/Sebring/Talon DISCUSSION: The listed models are shipped from the factory with only one key FOB transmitter. If a second FOB is added, it must be purchased through MOPAR and is not considered a warrantable item. Whenever a second FOB is programmed, the original FOB must also be re-programmed. If the original FOB is not re-programmed with the second FOB, the original FOB will not function. The following two procedures are available to program key FOB transmitters.

To add a new key fob, take the vehicle and the key fob to an authorized dealer. To re-program a key fob after replacing it's battery, open the key fob, then read and follow the instructions inside.
I'm pretty sure the dealership has to program the fobs. I programmed my key using the instructions in the owner's manual. They're really simple if you follow them step-by-step, but I'm not sure if the instructions for the fob are in there.
That depends on the problem. If it's just a battery problem, replace the battery and follow the instructions on the inside of the fob. If the fob has failed, Saturn requires that you take it to a dealer to program the replacement fob.
1) Gather all key fobs you want to program to your car. (I suggest buying used fobs from a salvage yard. Ford charges around $40-80 for a new one; a scam many people fall for. Most any similar-looking Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Mazda fob will work. Maximum 4 fobs per vehicle.) 2) Get in the car, and insert the key. 3) In 10 seconds or less, rotate the key back and forth from Off to On eight times, leaving the key On the eighth turn. The doors will lock and unlock to signal Programming Mode. 4) Press a button; any button, on the fob. The doors will again lock and unlock to signal that the fob has been programmed successfully. Do this for each fob in 20 seconds or less. 5) Turn the key Off. The doors will again lock and unlock to signal that Programming Mode has been turned off. Now test each fob to ensure it works. If any fobs do not work, you will have to repeat the process for *all* fobs.
