Default Key Fob question (replacement question)

Ok im lookign to get a spare key fob.
Was only given one with the car. Id like to do it as soon as possible .. but too cheap to pay double at the dealers lot for it
Much rather get one via our guys for the forums, still waiting on a confirmation from a couple instead of just a listed price

The one i have is ...
GM/S 10372541
FCC id m3n65981403
Ic 267f-65981403
#1

I'd like to get at least one extra fob and one extra key.
Ive been unable to get a confirmation on which would be right.
Most places i look up the FOB have 6 listed ... 3-#1 and 3-#2.

That part is easy to narrow down. I need the #2 .. but which one
I can make a guess but id rather be sure ...


The second question if i decided to buy a 3rd its just another either #1 or 2 and programmed into the #3 slot... right? I know all the GM i dealt with previously and the wifes nissan were similar and it didn't really matter more than the stamped # on the back.


These are the ones i've found ... noting which i THINIK it is.. but again its a guess at the moment.
Suggestions?

I just ordered a #01 FOB and will completely reprogram the FOB order, in essence clear the memory and start from scratch. Regardless of what the FOB has printed on the bottom, the first one programmed in is FOB No#01 next is FOB 2 and 3/4 would be FOB 3 and 4 which is max. Here is the link to programming instructions.

Now the best price found with shipping was from a forum vendor Gene Culley at http://www.gmpartshouse.com/ go to the site then call their number and explain what you need they will get you the correct FOB and matching key 05 ~ 07 keys are different than 08 up.

If you're just going to add a fob, the short procedure is the one you want to use. Erasing all fobs and starting over requires the long procedure.

If you're just going to add a fob, keep in mine that the car will program it as the next fob number that's unused. What this means is that if you have only one fob, a 2nd fob may have been already programmed, maybe not. You won't know until you start the procedure.

Thanks for the referral. I'm fairly certain I answered an email like this close to midnight last night. At any rate, all of the options with remote entry lock are for export vehicles. You would need to order the one without. Always add your VIN to your order for us to double check, but I am 100% sure that is correct.

Since the OP only received one fob when he bought the car, someone out there has his 2nd fob.

That'd be reason enough for me to reprogram the system for my fob's only.

But I've never programmed a fob... maybe the long procedure is discouragingly difficult. And of course I'd worry that if I screwed-up the long procedure, I might end up with no functioning fob's.

Anyway, definitely get a 2nd fob. And get some spare keys for the hatch/trunk. About $6/each at most places that specialize in car keys. Use key blank B-106 (same size for a Saturn). I keep one in my wallet.

Yeah, I had this situation and definitely had them reprogram both fobs!

I just went through this. I simply ordered the #2 fob from partstaxi and followed the long procedure. It's only long because of the 3 10-minute waits but is otherwise very simple.

If you don't want to spend alot of money, it is easy to get a fob on Ebay. All fobs are the same...the number stamped into the fob is just a number...it only refers to the order in which it was originally programmed to it's original car at the factory. It has no relationship to your car at all. Any C6 fob will work on the car and fit in the slot in the glovebox.
It is a common misunderstanding that the number means something. You could take four fobs, all stamped number "1", and program them to your car as #1, #2,#3, and #4. The first one in the slot could be left stamped as #1. Then you can use a marking pen and label the others as 2,3,4. They are all the same inside. The Cadillac fob that looks like the C6 fob will also work ...it just needs to be programmed to the car like any C6 fob. The Cadillac ones are even cheaper on Ebay. I use a Cadillac fob for my car so the original ones don't get scratched up and ruined.

Thanks Gene.
Not sure why but only the 1st email came through.

The later ones got caught by bellsouth and their "famous" spam catching....


I'll be speaking with you monday morning to order.
