To expand on what has already been said - the fobs (actually called remote function actuator), the fobs between '97 and '99 had a passive slide switch below the buttons. The '00 used essentially the same fob, with the only difference being the absence of the passive switch.
The '01 -'04 was totally different and they are not backwards compatible. The C6 fob is different again.
Programming instructions are in the owner's manual.

I love the irony! People spend tens of thousands of dollars modding their Corvette, but won't spend $90 for a new key fob.

Yep!!! I went and got 2 new FOB's for my Z06 off ebay!! They came in the pair, 1 and 2 w/ instructions, for $35 shipped!!!
It just makes sense to buy what you can CHEAP, so you can save extra money for those EXPENSIVE MODDS!!!!

That would be a good deal, if they work. Too many stories about buying fobs from e-bay that are junk. Why buy someone else's problem? I have one in the drawer now that I replaced the battery, cleaned, re-soldered, rebuilt and it still doesn't work. Since it is for a 2000, I could put it on e-bay and probably get $30-40 for it. And have some CF member pi**ed at me. But, that's just me, I would rather buy new than used.

Buy NEW from forum supporter Gene Culley at www.GMPartsHouse.com Having said that I purchased my spare 2000 fob from Gene but also purchased 6 (SIX) 2003 fobs for $90.00 TOTAL - Brand Spanking New on e-bay. (Three #1 and Three #2's) (This was a couple of years ago)

So From what I understand, There is a #1 FOB and a #2 FOB. Will the part number for the #1 be KOBLEAR1XT GM 25695954 and the #2 be KOBELEAR2XT? or with it Still be KOBLEAR1XT and the GM will be 25695955?
