Yes. Even the elctronic door opener won't work.

Need to remind all passengers to use the emergency exit handle if they need out under this situation.

Without the fob it wont do anything. But with the fob it should start. Might have to push the door button to wake the system up. Never had it go into lock mode with myself and a fob inside.

GM discontinued the use of VATS (ignition keys with the embedded resistor) in 2003, so no C6 ever had it.

To which C6 system are you referring?

If you are referring to the overall anti-theft system in a C6, then if it is in "lock down" mode (no known fob present), it is not supposed to be able to start.

Perhaps a little more detail into the problem?

yes, I do have the fob , the photo of the car with a lock on it stays on , I tried resetting everything , you know push the start button wait ten minutes all that ,still nothing no crank so I figured its the security system causing all the trouble, the car has been sitting awhile, I"ll keep you posted, thanks

The battery in the FOB could be getting low. You can try inserting the FOB in the glove box slot.
