As far as I know, the absolute maximum distance between key fob years is 5. And I think it's even less with the newer ones, such as the ones you have for the 05/06 Impala and Malibu. I think most are only a couple of years. From what I can find, HLS needs a remote with an FCC ID of: KOBUT1BT which is the same as my '96 Bonnie. Also from what I can find, the '98 LaSabre can only use a remote with that code made from 1996 - 2000.

Appreciate the info, Knight... Have been trying to research it, and haven't found a good solution. My wife still has her fop, but the extra one has been missing for a long time. It is irritating when I drive the car, but its time to buy a new car anyway.

I can see what you mean. Goes with the old saying "don't know what you've got, till its gone". If Kjun doesn't have any, your next best bet would be Ebay. I have bought a couple off there, and they work great. They usually even come with programming instructions (but,

does wonders too), and can usually be had (for cars our years) for around $25. Just make sure the numbers on the back of your wife's remote match the numbers on the back of the remote you are buying. If there is any doubt, call your local dealer and double check.
