After rereading he forum instructions (below) on FOB programming, I am not getting the Beep and "Ready for FOB 3" message in step 6. Is there a solution for this?


C6 Fob Programming Instructions

Before starting, it is important to make sure that the glovebox slot is working properly. If it is not, and the long procedure is started, then the car will be stripped of its fob programming, but will then not be able to accept new fob programming through the slot. This will leave the car unable to be started. Since most C6 owners have never tested the slot, or had to use it to start the car with a dead fob, they would be unaware if it had never been working properly since the car was new. To make sure that the glovebox slot is working, follow steps 1-6 below. Then in step 7, you may either insert the new, unprogrammed fob into the slot and continue to step 8, or you may insert one of the fobs that is currently programmed to the car into the slot. If the slot is presented with a fob that is ALREADY programmed to the car, the DIC will say “Known Fob”. This shows us that the slot is working correctly by recognizing this fob. Push the bottom half of the start button to end the session if you were just testing the slot for proper operation.


C6 Fob, Short Procedure….use these instructions 1-10 when you have a working fob and just want to add another to the system, or to test the operation of the glovebox slot.

1. Put drivers window down all the way, then turn car off
2. Trunk open
3. Glove box open
4. Put working fob on console next to shifter (the one you are currently using to drive the car) IMPORTANT. Also make sure no cellphones are in the car.
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 “Ready for fob 3”.
7. Put new unprogrammed fob in slot by glovebox with buttons facing right (passenger) side.
8. Wait and watch DIC. When it says “Ready for fob 4” it is done. Up to four Fobs may be programmed to the car total.
9. When all Fobs are programmed, push OFF/ACC (bottom half of start button) to turn off DIC.
10. Test all four buttons on fob and then take away all other fobs and check car starting with new fob(s).

 

Likely either YOU aren't turning the key key 5 times in less than 5 seconds......OR you aren't turning the key far enough to make complete contact one or more times......OR your lock is dirty and isn't allowing the key to turn completely to make contact.

Can you confirm that your key does in fact turn 90 degrees?

 

Yes full 90* key turn. Tried w/ door open/closed, Acc on/off. The key does start resisting at about 70 degrees and it takes some effort to get to 90.

 

Mine was a major PITA and its a miracle I even pulled it off. Took like 20 times with the 5 key turn deal and in the end neither FOB was recognized...Then all of a sudden they started working.

Hope I dont need to do this again ever!
