Key Fob Issue
My 2000 C5 came with two key fob's but one of them appears to keep losing memory. I've replaced the battery and programmed it through the DIC on screen menu's, and it works for a few days and then none of the buttons will work (lock/unlock, etc.)
Any help would be appreciated

Does both FOBS have the same part # and are they labeled 1 & 2 ?

A little research and it looks like after 2001 the FOBs were numbered #1 and #2. (Based on photos of the backs of pre owned 2001- 2004 FOBs for sale on the infamous auction site. Other members will likely chime in to confirm.
The 99's didn't have numbers. Well mine didn't, nor both of my brothers 99s didn't.

My 98 FOB keeps loosing memory also. To reset it, I just aim it at the passenger footwell and hold both buttons down for 15 seconds or more, The horn will beep and its reset til next time. I have no idea what causes it to loose memory. Good car battery and a good fob battery. Wore out maybe???

Just checked mine and neither have 1 or 2 on them.
Here's what's on the back of both.
GM 10432147
Canada 218 102 108
Model/FCC ID AB00216T
Like I said, one works flawlessly and the other works for awhile before failing.

My problem is back. The 2nd remote can be programmed and works for about 30 min and then nothing.
I've tried the solder flow trick and have replace the battery a couple of times now. I think I'll just get a new/used one.
Can someone recommend a retailer?

Yeap I did this too. Got tired of the short range and I also tried the re solder and it still would lose memory
