Default Odd key fob predicament

I have an 04 Coupe have an odd predicament going on. When I bought it a couple of weeks ago had one fob they couldnt get a second fob program to it. they gave me a second fob for me to try programming cuz I'm pretty handy with stuff.

Oddly,
I can get either fob programmed as the first fob, and neither fob will program as the second fob. So basically both fobs work but can't get both of them program simultaneously, regardless of which one's in first or second position. I've read through the forms I'm not sure what to do here. I'm hoping somebody has an idea. Thanks in advance David

Are they the correct part# for your car? If they are, someone else will have to chime in, because I don't have the answer.....

Are you programming them both at the same time?

You can program up to three fobs. After each successful FOB programming, it should indicate that its ready to program the NEXT FOB. Do you see that in the DIC after the first FOB programming?

All the FOBs that you want to program should be in the car and programmed in the same FOB training session.
