Gosh, if "0" is included and someone has a 4 that is 5 unique cavities in the mold or die for the removable key (before it's cut!) Then ha is 5 factorial/2 = 5!/2 = 60 unique combinations!
Again if that is what they reflect, i.e. mold/die cavities it still has nothing to do with FOB 1 or 2!

C6 keys have no numbers in them. They have no "cavities" like the C7 key does.

Jerry, this is about a C6 fob where the numbers did mean something (from the factory), not the C7 fob where the numbers never meant anything whatsoever. Talking about what numbers appeared in the C7 key base is not useful to the discussion, and adds a level of confusion.

If you look thorough the posts some of us are talking about the C7! That is why some say they have no numbers etc. I am responding to them. Lisa, I know you have been taking about the C6 which is what the OP apparently rightfully asked but it's also adding to a level of confusion!
I assume any new C7 owner, beit a 2019 or someone buying a used C7 could have this question as to the numbers in their FOB and can get confused. Took ~6 months after the C7 was introduced to convince the 25% of the folks who had numbers 1 & 2 they meant nothing and that the rest of us (like me having two 2's) did not know what we were talking about! My reason for continuing!
In addition as the Poster conjectured in 2013 re C7 FOB's, it's fun to define the number of permutations if in fact that original 2 cavity mold or die is now 4 or 5 cavities!
Just have to read between the posts and pic the one that fits! I did go through the history of the C7 FOB issue in post #11.

The most likely scenario is that the previous owner lost the #2 fob, and you have #1. By this, I mean 'program-order' or 'logical' fobs, not whatever number may or may not be stamped on the case. 1 & 2 are the only fobs that can have driver preferences stored, so when you end up with the two fobs that you should have, make sure the dealer programs both of them. If the dealer just adds in the new key using the short procedure, it will end up as (logica) #3, assuming there never was a 3rd key programmed. If there was a 3rd key programmed, you'll end up with #4. If in the remote case there were 4 fobs programmed, then both of the fobs you end up would need to be programmed for sure.
