Programming a FOB
I lost the #1 FOB for my 2005 C6 and am using #2. The owner's manual implies a replacement can be programmed using the "plug in" in the glove box if you have a "working FOB". However, it also says the new FOB will be given a number of 2,3, or 4. Does that mean you must have the #1 to program a spare?
The repair guy at my dealership told me if you do not have the #1 FOB, he has to program the new unit using his computer - at a cost I am sure.
Before I buy a new FOB for $80, I want to know if I can program it myself. I do not care if it is a #1 or #3 or #4. Thanks

As long as you have a working key fob, you can use that fob to program additional key fobs.
You can program up to 4 key fobs. If the RCDLR has 2 key fobs programmed any new fobs added will be added a number 3 and 4.
There are 4 methods for programming key fobs
