What's the fob number that you were using programmed as? Sounds like you might have been using a #3 or #4 fob, which doesn't have memory options.

Did you, by chance, re-match the car with the fob?

You say the car only came with one remote. When you bought the second one, did you wipe out ALL existing remotes first? If you didn't, your 'additional' remote was added as #3, as ALL C6's come from the factory with #1 and #2 pre-programmed.
