Default Fob Question

If fob #1 & #2 reach the car at the same time, does fob #1 take priority?

Yes, if two fobs are close enough to be read by the car, the fob with the lowest number will take priority. This can be overridden by pushing the memory button on the door that corresponds to a different fob.

Today's C6 trivia:

Keep in mind that the car "numbers" the fobs by the order in which they were programmed with the car, not by the little number stamped on the bottom.

If you bought a pair of new fobs and did the long procedure to learn them both to the car, the first one you did would be considered #1 by the car and the second one you did would be considered #2 by the car, regardless of the numbers on the case.

This is good info and is also a difficult concept to get across sometimes. People say things like "I'm looking for a number 2 fob"...
