Question on Key Fob Programming
Hi Guys, I have a quick question on 2004 C5 key fob programming. When you follow the standard programming instructions (below), does this generate a totally NEW code for the fobs? I want to CHANGE the current code on my fobs, as a set of my keys has gone missing. I did some research but could not determine for sure if the code was changed. I'm sure someone here knows. Thanks in advance-

When you program the FOB's to the car what happens is you use each FOB that you have in succession to do the programming. When that is done any FOB that was previously programmed (up to a max of 3) that is NOT programmed in this programming session is erased from the RFA's memory. Therefore the lost FOB CAN NO LONGER be used to unlock the car. Unfortunately the KEY can still be used. So you are NOT fully protected by just reprogramming the FOB's. 
Of course if you find the FOB you could initiate another programming session and add it back to the FOB's that the RFA has memorized.
