Key FOB
i just tried setting up a new "#1" key fob. after activating it, my "#2" stopped working. I followed the directions in the owners manual, but I cant figure out why this is happening.

FOBB's
I was going to say, now is an excellent time to change out the batties as well. You can get 1,2, and or 3 at walmart, Cost's 5$97 and their # CR2032 I did all three of mine last week. Use a small flat screwdrive and open the FOB's and they slide out.

Dumb question but how do you activate the key fob? I am having the same issue as you. How can you do 1 and 2 together? Do you mean have both fob's in the cockpit together?

Steps for programming the FOB's are in your owners manual. No info about your car in either your post or profile or I could tell you the page number in the manual. Year, manual or auto trans, vert, coupe or Z06 and any mods are a minimum info you should supply when asking for help on the Forum. Just because all C5's look alike does NOT mean that they are exactly alike across the model years the car was produced.

Programming a single new key FOB will delete any other FOB's that have been programmed for the car. If you want more than 1 FOB programmed to the car (3 is the max) you must program ALL of them at one sitting of the programming steps.

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I have a C7, not sure how it wound up on the C5 board. Also, 2014, z51, convertible, premier edition, auto with no mods. Limerock green with tan top, beautiful car. I am familiar with the manual on how to do this. So, I do all the keys at once. Both fob's in the cockpit at the same time? I thought by having both in the car at the same time, one would override the other?

NickBarber: Since you have a C7 and have already posted a thread in the C7 General section on key fob issues, I'm closing this one down.
