Default Source for replacement key fob?
I bought some key fobs for my new to me 2001 Z06 and my car doesn't recognize them. I ran through the training procedure and the only OEM fob I have trains fine. Feedback when I bought them suggests others have had them work on a C5 but I know I'm not the only one for whom they did not work. All the ones I can find online look like the same units I bought. Anybody found a source for reasonably priced fobs that work?

I bought mine on Amazon about a month ago:

Amazon.com: KeylessOption Keyless Entry Remote Control Car Key Fob Replacement for 25695954, 25695955 : Automotive Amazon.com: KeylessOption Keyless Entry Remote Control Car Key Fob Replacement for 25695954, 25695955 : Automotive

It programmed just fine on the first try. Cheap, too!

If you're feeling daring, make your new key fob an integrated flip key

I ordered 2 of the red fobs you linked from Amazon. Trained both with zero issues. Thanks for the tip.
