programing a key fob on a c6
hey guys
has any tryed to reprogram a used key fob from another car.
I bought a extra fob on ebay (used) and tryed to program it in the way outlined in our manuel. I did the open the trunk with the key, then 5 turns within 5 sec, then looked at the DIC and nothing. what am I doing wrong or is it because of a used fob.
thanks

DIC should say "Ready for fob #2 or #3" if it's working
Dealer sold me a generic type GM fob & my 05 C6 would not recognize it, had to get one for a 05 Corvette. Instructions for a 05, Vehicle must be OFF, have recognized & unrecognized transmitters. Open the hatch, turn key 5 times within five seconds. The DIC will display Ready for FOB #2, place the Fob in the glove box slot with buttons facing passenger side. You’ll hear a beep, press the ACC button (ignition switch) Done.

The trick to getting the DIC to show ready is to turn the car ON, then turn the car OFF and then begin the key turning sequence.
If you try this with the car OFF without first having turned ON, the DIC will display nothing.
