According to the shop, when you put in a new battery, the fobs lose the program and have to be redone. What happened was that I could lower my passenger side window from the driver's seat switch when I closed the door and the car was on, but I could not raise it back up from the driver's seat switch. The window did go up and down, however, but only when using the passenger side switch. Thanks for any feedback. Sure hope I was not taken.
I had a similar window switch problem with my C5.
I only fixed it because a friend did the work for cheap.

I had the exact same problem with my 2007MN6, however i was not charged a dime. Everything was covered under warranty. Is there any particular reason why your warranty didn't cover the repairs?

I went through 3 batteries and the reflash after the second battery. So far so good. 3 years, 3 batteries and a computer fix.

DBS was/is almost strictly '05 manual, with just a few early '06's, and I don't recall any of them being manuals. But a few might have been, I just don't recall anyone reporting/confirming DBS with '06 manual here on the forum.
But NOT typical for any '06.
We went over this ad nauseum and extensively a few years back.
Unless there is some new news or development that I missed...

VERY unusual, if ever for '06 manual.
