New FOB
So today was great until I smashed my #1 FOB with a 65lb dumbell 
I was in the gym doing presses with dumbells, keys in pocket. They must have fallen out when I had my headphones in and as I set the dumbells down after my last set, I smashed my #1 FOB. It still works but is bent out of whack. I am looking on Fleabay and notice a lot of people state that some of them work on only C5 Z06's. Is this true or do they all use the same remote? Also, are these the correct instructions to reprogram (01 Vert)?
1. Turn ignition on.
2. Turn radio off.
3. Press Driver Information Center(DIC) RESET button.
4. Press OPTIONS button on DIC until display is blank.
5. Press and hold RESET button for 3 seconds.
6. Press OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING is displayed.
7. Press RESET button to begin programming sequence.
8. Simultaneously press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on first remote for 13 seconds. Message will appear when remote is programmed. Repeat this step for additional remotes.
9. Turn igntion off and remove keys from ignition.
10. Test remotes.

Remotes from years 2001 through 2004 are the same for that year range..
The remotes for the later year cars will not work in the earlier cars and vice versa.
The steps you list are a little different than in the owners manual for my 2004. However, they may be correct for your year car

I saw that also that 2001-2004 Fobs are pretty cheap compared to the fobs for the '97-99. I paid $49 plus $4.95 shipping for a used one for my '99 being I only had one to begin with since the previous owner couldn't find the 2nd one he had. Luckily he found it a week or so later and mailed it out to me. I now have 3. From what I learned I see in the '97-99 you can program up to 3 transmitters so I am keeping the 3rd one just in case.
