HA! Glad it worked out and you now have two working fobs....safe!

Yes sir!! Feels a lot better having two for sure. Now just gotta come up with next mod for it. It already has Borla exhaust and a Hurricane Cai so I am off to a decent start anyway.

I'll share my trials & tribulations for this issue. My 2009 M6 is in storage unit for 4 months with the negative battery terminal disconnected. Last week I reconnect the negative lead and parking lights illuminate. Key Fob #1 not responding so I manually enter the car, alarm goes off until I press the unlock button on the door. "No key fob" warning on the DIC. Figure I'll come back later with Fob #2 and maybe the ECM/BCM/whatever needs some time to relearn.

Yesterday, I return to the storage unit. Neither Fob is responding to any of the button commands. Gain access back into car (can't remember if the doors opened with the handle or I had to enter manually). "No key Fob" warning and I can't start the car! Between the owner's manual and Youtube info, I try starting the car with a fob in the glovebox slot. After 8 or 9 attempts it finally starts. So I get the Vette home and attach a Battery Tender.

No response again from the fobs while in the driveway so in my haste I start the owner's manual reprogramming instructions. Frustrated I pulled the negative battery terminal before the long programming procedure finished. After finding this thread and some other's I fear the worst; a bad RCDLR or BCM and a tow to the nearest Chevy dealer. Just want to get the car started again and driven into my garage for further diagnosis. I measure Fob voltage as 2.86V for #1 and 0.18V for #2.

This morning I realize that I've cleared all fob programming and why not attempt the long procedure again. At the end of thirty minutes, both fobs are accepted as #1 and #2, but still no response anywhere and that damn No Fob warning on the DIC. Fob #1 should work. So I shove it back into the slot and pull it toward me (steering wheel) and guess what? The starter switch lights up green and the engine starts!

Run out to the nearest store for new CR2032 fob batteries. Each measures 3.2V and now both fobs are working 100%.

If you don't think your glovebox slot is functioning, pull the fob towards the radio while it's inserted in the slot. The RCDLR antenna is on the left side of that slot, behind the plastic. May save you a trip to the stealership.

EVRose

Take the title and your vin to the dealer and get a key made.

You will need the key again someday, so take the proof of ownership and go get one and only one key at the dealer...take it to a locksmith and get a couple of copies made. B-106 key blank.

Excellent instructions! I cleaned my door pads during the ten minute breaks!!! All is perfect now.

This happened once last night. No fob detected. Then all was well. Dont know what I did...but fingers crossed.

Oh. I did get out of the car .. lock and unlock the car

All was ok

Hope that helps!

Is a dealer the only place to get an emergency key blank that will work with the fob and cylinder lock? I plan on getting another fob and want to replicate the em key that's hidden in the fob as well.

I went to the dealer before I got this detailed info but all is good
Thanks

OK. Not to beat a dead horse but will this key fob work in the glovebox slot?

cclive

All C6 fobs will fit and work in the slot.

I've been reading through this thread for a while now and have't been able to get the DIC to display anything after the five key turn. I've done 20 plus more than 10 times. HAH!

Anyway, will this procedure work if I don't have a currently working FOB. I lost my only working one.

yellow2007

You can order a blank online like I did. I ordered two, went to dealer with the code provided by the selling dealer along with the title and they cut the new key. Then took my second blank to ace hardware......

I cannot find my ad on the forum but here is a Craigslisting for a spare (never really used) Corvette key fob plus some other C6 stuff.

hi guys, i have no key and just one keyless fob for my car... May i registre another fob without the key?
It is a way to make a new key? PS. I'm not from USA, so here, don't have a Dealer that undeerstand about corvettes.

Thank you guys.

You have to have a key BUT........

When the key doesn't work there are a couple of manual workarounds to try. But you really need to get a key. If you aren't in the US you might have to just order a whole new lock cylinder and key from the US. If it matters to you, you would also have to order a new glove box latch to match the new key for the back.

Anyway, go look at posts #111 and #112 in this thread. There are 2 tips to try to manually work the lock mechanism or bypass it with the wires.

Good luck.

lipeandrews

Got it... do you think that is possible to make the key by the lock cylinder of my car? like a especialist open the lock cilinder and get the script key??

lipeandrews

one more question... the key is just a blade or have some chip that need a code too?

RicK T

Yea, a locksmith should be able to "make a key".

No, no chip in these keys.
