Another silly fob question
I know the key fobs for a 2000 are different than those of earlier & later C5's, but I have a question and an issue I hope you can clear up for me. Is one fob specific to memory setting 1 and the other for memory setting 2?
When we bought the car we set both memory settings with just one fob. Both memory settings worked for about a week, then it "lost" memory 2. When we try to reset, it only moves the seat forward about one inch, rather than where it needs to be for my 5' 2" wife.

I believe you can only have one memory setting per remote.
You can program up to three remotes per vehicle.
I would suggest you purchase a second remote and then you both would have a remote with your own specific settings.

Each vehicle can have up to three remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters (fobs) programmed or matched to its memory, but each remote can only be used to recall memory settings for one driver. The RKE transmitters correspond to the order in which they were programmed/matched to the vehicle's memory; i.e., the first transmitter programmed will correspond to driver 1 memory, the second programmed to driver 2 memory and the third to driver 3 memory, regardless of any number that may appear on the back of the transmitter. You owner's manual should cover this in more detail under Matching Transmitters to your Vehicle or Fob Training. In addition you may want to review those sections that cover the memory option and on Resynchronizing Your Transmitter. If you do not have an owner's manual, you can get free on-line access to a digital copy of the owner's manual for you specific model year by going to https://www.mygmlink.com/ and registering. Registration is also free.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks for your responses. I will try to re-set Memory 2 with the second fob.

the '02 fobs were numbered 1 and 2; i believe this started in '01; and yes they can be programmed differently to each fob(never had a 2000, so i'm not sure about your car)
