I am trying to find out if there is any way to program the keyless remote to my 06 Grand Prix other than taking it to the dealer, I would prefer to do it myself.

Call around with your local shops. There is a good chance that there is a local shop with a Tech 2.
Thanks, looks like I'll take it in!!!
see if your local automotive school has one. the one here does and they work on your car for the price of parts.
The tech-II is different from what the parts store has. The parts store has a universal code scanner. The Tech-II is a computer designed by and for GM to assist in re-programming/updating the programming of vehicles and all the associated on-board computers.
The tool needs to be capable of 2-way communication with the BCM, not possible with an ECM code scanning and clearing computer.
Yes I know what the Tech 2 is. You can do all sorts of fun things with it. What do you think the small shops are going to do when they need to bleed the brakes on a newer chevy pickup but don't have a tech 2. Sucks to be them.
I was explaining it for the other poster who seemed to think AutoZone would have the equipment needed to re-program the RKE remote.
