🔧 PRO TIP
The 2000 Pontiac Montana uses a transponder key with no remote fob. Buttons are N/A on this one. That means the key you need is a cut-and-chipped ignition key, nothing more. The transponder inside communicates with the immobilizer ring around the ignition cylinder every time you turn the key. If that signal handshake doesn't happen, the engine cranks but won't run, or won't crank at all depending on the state of the system. On vehicles this age, a worn or damaged key can also cause intermittent no-starts because the chip reads poorly when the key is wobbling in a worn cylinder. Worth knowing before you assume the programming is the problem.

2000 Pontiac Montana Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from someone up on the Mesa, parked in their driveway off Meigs Road, dealing with a 2000 Montana that just stopped cooperating. They had one key left and it was in rough shape, the blade worn down and the plastic head cracked open. It had been working intermittently for weeks. That morning it stopped working entirely.

When I pulled up, I could see right away what had been happening. The key head was cracked bad enough that the internal components were exposed. On a vehicle this age, that's not just cosmetic. The transponder inside that housing needs to sit in a consistent position relative to the ignition ring to get a clean read, and a cracked, shifting housing throws that off.

I cut a fresh key blade to match the ignition using my code-cutting equipment, transferred to a proper replacement housing, and ran the programming procedure through the OBD port to register it to the vehicle. Started right up, first try. No more intermittent cranks, no more sitting in the driveway wondering if today was the day it wouldn't start at all.

The owner had called the dealer earlier that week. They were quoted a wait and a price that made the call to me make a lot more sense. We wrapped it up in the driveway in under an hour.

Pontiac Montana Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Does the 2000 Pontiac Montana key have remote buttons?
No. The 2000 Montana uses a transponder ignition key with no remote fob and no buttons. It is a single metal key with a transponder built into the head. It cuts and turns in the ignition like any key, but it also has to be programmed to the vehicle's immobilizer before the car will run. There is no lock, unlock, or any other remote function on this key.
What is a transponder key and why does it need programming?
Why does the dealer charge so much more for a key on a 25-year-old vehicle?
My 2000 Montana cranks but won't start and I don't see any warning. Could it be the key?
Can I program a second transponder key myself on a 2000 Montana if I already have one working key?
