Key Fob Training
Okay - I'm trying to help a buddy of mine. I tried using the search function, and of course, it produced nothing.
Car is a 2000 coupe. Only got the second key fob (first is being located by the original owner). Just had the battery replaced in the fob. Did the resync. exercise, no joy. Did the DIC excercise to train the new fob - no joy. Checked to see that the battery is installed correctly - it is. What am I missing?
The 2000 vettes didn't have the passive/active crap did they? Something ain't right here - and the owner's manual is for the guy's other car - a 99 FRC - so I can't find anything specific to the 00.
Help!

when you did the resync, did you have the key in the ignition, and switched to on (without starting the car)?
The key should be in the ignition and on.
Hold the key fob within one foot of the dashboard while depressing both lock and unlock at the same time, and after approximately 30 - 45 seconds the horn will honk signifying a resync of the key fob.
If it is a brand new keyfob (new to your car), the training procedure must be completed prior to the resync.

Sometimes the only cure is to replace the remote. It's just wear & tear, being dropped and etc.
You can find them on ebay or in the Parts For Sale on this forum.
EDIT:
I believe the part # for that remote should be GM 10432147.

Went to GM - tested the fob - it works fine - checked the part no. - its for an 01 aurora/bonneville/cutlass - not an 00 corvette. Time to contact the previous owner and ask him if he wants his aurora key fob back!
