Does this work on any Bonnie of the same year!?!?! :?:

I'm sure it does, assuming we're talking about the _factory_ keyless-entry system and not an aftermarket brand.

I mean can i take a 98 fob, walk throught a parking lot, and get into any 98.

Hmmmm...... I don't think so. It has to be programmed to the car first, which requires "shorting out" two pins in the OBD2 connecter.

Sure... Ayup. You betcha.

Realistically, you can program more than one Bonne to respond to your remote, but you need access to the OBD port on each car (or ALDL connector on older cars) to do so.

I think it would be cool to program all my cars to respond to the same remote starter transmitter... well, just once, anyway, just to see 'em all fire up at once. I tried to do it one day by pressing all the Start buttons on the separate transmitters simultaneously, but the signals cancelled each other out, so the best I could do was to press each one separately, really quickly. It was still pretty funny to see this wave of engine startups going around the driveway... VROOM!!! ... VROOM!!! ... VROOM!!!
