I'm not sure what happened but when I press my Options Menu it reads "OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE" Does anyone know how to unlock this and let me get my Options Menu back? Any help will be appreciated,
Gary

 

You must be using a fob which is NOT 1 or 2. Check that first.

Another possiblity is that the fob has not been recognized by the system. Check the owner's manual. You will find a procedure to fix that.

 

The fob you're using was not programmed as fob #1 or fob #2. It doesn't matter what number is inscribed on the back of the fob, it's the number it was programmed as that makes a difference.

 

I agree. Not using #1 or #2 fob

 

Hey many thanks for the info as that might be the problem. I'm not sure what a fob is but I did have to buy another transmitter and have it programed at the chevy dealer. I'll try both transmitters out and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Gary

 

P.S. I did read about the #1 and #2 on the transmitter back and on the drivers door panel,but that doesn' apply as I don't have that option?

If your car doesn't have the 1SB option package, you don't have the memory options. Look for either 1SX, 1SA, or 1SB on the white sticker inside the glove box.

transmitter = fob

 

The dealer programmed that fob as an ADDED fob and it is now #3, which does not allow programming options. The dealer should have used the long programming procedure to re-program the fobs you have as #1 and #2. The way you have it now, the lost fob will still work if it is found. You can program the two yourself in 30 minutes with the long procedure:

C6 Fob Programming, long version to erase car memory and reprogram all Fobs. Any lost Fobs that are not reprogrammed with this procedure will no longer work on the car. Lost Fobs that are later found may be added to the car with the short programming procedure. This procedure requires three consecutive ten minute waiting periods, so plan on spending about a half hour to do this, during which the car may not be moved. Remember that the number printed on the Fob only indicates the way it was first programmed at the factory. All Fobs are identical. The order in which they are placed in the glovebox slot determines what number the Fob is.


1. Car off
2. Trunk open
3. Glove box open
4. Make sure NO Fobs are anywhere near the car. IMPORTANT.
5. Put key in trunk keyhole and turn key five times in less than 5 seconds.
6. DIC will now beep and light up and say “Off/Acc to learn” If you decide at this point NOT to do the programming now, push the TOP half of the Start button and the car will return to normal. To continue with programming:
7. Push bottom half of the Start button. DIC will say to wait 10 minutes and will start counting down the minutes. You may close the trunk and car door while waiting for the ten minute countdowns.
8. After the first 10 minute countdown, DIC will again say “Off/Acc to learn”. Push bottom half of Start button again. DIC will again start counting down the ten minutes.
9. After the second 10 minute countdown, DIC will again say “Off/Acc to learn”. Push bottom half of Start button again. DIC will again start counting down the ten minutes.
10. After this third ten minute period is over, DIC will say “Ready for Fob #1” Regardless of the number on the Fob, the FIRST Fob that is put in the glovebox slot will be recognized as Fob #1. Put the first Fob in the glovebox slot with the buttons facing to the right (passenger) side.
11. After 3 or four seconds the DIC will beep and say “Ready for Fob #2”. Put the second Fob in the slot. The car will take a maximum of four fobs. When you have no more Fobs to program, push the bottom half of the Start button to end the programming session.
12. Test all buttons on the fobs to make sure they work, then take all fobs away from the car and, one by one, try using each to start the car.

 

I assume that when you say the bottom of the start button will be the OFF/ACCESSORIES button on the right of the steering wheel?

 

Yes. The start button bottom half is what the DIC calls "Off/Acc".
