Default Another FOB question?

How can I determine if my #1 key fob is actually programmed to #1 and not #2, 3, or 4?

If you have not programmed a name into the DIC, the DIC should briefly show you the driver number when you start the car. That driver number is actually what fob number the fob that you're using has been programmed into the car.

I have programmed my name and it shows on the DIC, but does that indicate that it is the number 1 fob?

I have the stock key FOB and has not been replaced; The case has a #1 embossed on it.

How many FOBS do you have?

My case also has the number 1 on it, however, I believe that does not matter as it may have been reprogrammed for some reason as number 3 or 4.

If that's the fob that you were using when you programmed your name into the DIC, it has to be programmed into the car as either #1 or #2. Fobs programmed as #3 or #4 don't have the memory options, which is required to program your name.
