I have a third fob programmed, battery installed, just wrapped in a couple layers of aluminum foil and hidden deeply inside the car. I've done a lot of testing and the doors/trunk will not open because of that fob. There is also a hidden key outside the car, but I ain't gonna tell you where that one is either... :D |

typo...must be the time change:):)
and i am much smarter for researching.. lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WD-40 the best part of the wd-40 story is... Larsen was attempting to create a formula to prevent corrosion in nuclear missiles, by displacing the standing water that causes it. He claims he arrived at a successful formula on his 40th attempt so......... any ones of you out there, that wants to know how to prevent corrosion on your NUKES, just ask, i got the answer!!!! |
anyway, more than one of my friends was unable to use their key in the hatch, because of dirt/corrosion and could not get hatch open...some broke their key...wd40 cheap prevention.
actually if we drive our cars more often , should'nt have a battery issue.......... |

Most people say the fob will work in the glove box even with no battery in it, but a few have said it won't.
While I had my fob opened up in order to replace the battery, I tried it. I put it in the glove box slot with no battery in it. The first time I pushed the start button, it made the clickity click sound. Then I pushed it again and it started right up :cool: |
The key in the fob must be for cars newer than 06. Never minde found the answer in a post I didn't read.

Makes a nice back-up fob for road trips. :thumbs: |
Great info I used the key twist on both sides of my fob open right up!
Thanks guys.:thumbs: |
Wow.....what a relief!!
Bought my 2005 and have been shining it to death. All of a sudden personal features became erratic and I was in visioning days in the shop. Changed battery in fob and wha la!!!
All is well......great thread. BTW....if your key won't work because of rust you ain't keeping the car clean......I thought all vette owners knew that!!!!!! Hehe |

Good thought about the wife. Surprisingly, my wife's fob will release the key easily enough for her to do, but mine was the stubborn one. Go figure...
