Default FOB HELP!!!

I just got back from a hour long ride in my 99 coupe, and can't get the FOB to work. I tried re-synching it by holding down the top two buttons. I have to do it a lot, so I know when it should have gone off. I went and tried my other FOB, but it wouldn't re-synch either. I can't find any instructions on how to add other remotes to the car using the DIC. Can anyone please help with advice? Is my car's-remote sensor gone out?
Thanks!!
:confused: :confused:

Recieving unit on car may have gone bad, mine did. It is located in the rear trunk/hatch on the drivers side mounted in the upper area under the trunk liner. I have not taken mine in yet to be fixed the custom stereo might be in the way and hamper access. :lol:

I switched my batteries around in my FOB's and it seems to work fine now. Don't know what happened.

I had the same problem with both fobs. The batteries were not making contact within the fob. I bent the contacts so that they made a better contact and the problem was solved...
