If you cant do this method the manual says the dealer must program it.

Adding New Key FOBs
Has anyone had any luck adding new key fobs to their car? I lost a key fob and ordered two new ones. On page 2-7 of the owner's manual are instructions "to match a new transmitter to their vehicle when a recognized transmitter is not available." I followed the instructions, but item 6 (The DIC message will display OFF-ACCESSORY TO LEARN) never appears. Is there a trick to turning the key five times?
I checked previous threads, and no one has given the secret yet.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, in advance,

I think those might be the Canadian instructions since my owners manual says I only need one. In any case, I even tried to just add the new key fobs to the one I already have and can't do it. The DIC is maddeningly blank!!
Anyone have any other suggestions?

The manual says two recognized transmitters are required for Canadian owners. Only one FOB should be needed to program another for US cars. I wonder if he has a Corvette built for Canada?
