Default Crazy Problem

Ok i got this c6 coupe, and have always had problems opening the door. If i use fob #2 it never opens the door, but car starts ok, if i use fob #1 sometimes the door unlocks sometimes not. Any ideas where to look for problem??

is the fob original to the car or a replacement? have you been to the dealer to ask this perplexing question? if so, what did they say or do?

Does it make a difference where the car is when you open the door? Make there's some nearby electronic interference, either yours or someone else's.

Where is your fob on your person when you usually unlock the car? In your pocket with something that might be blocking the signal?

I have had some problems when I have had my blue-tooth ear-piece on, and the phone is in the same pocket as the FOB. Anyway, try making sure there is no other signal being sent to the car. Also, you can try re-programing the FOBs by putting them in the slot in the glove box and following the instructions in your owner manual.
