Default Are all c6 fobs interchangeable?

I lost the #1 fob for my 06, can any c6 fob be paired to the car? If I find a 09 fob and pair it will the 06 fob still work? Do the numbers mater other then the driver presets or an there only be one # 1 fob? What is the max number of fobs you can have?

Yes, all C6 fobs are interchangeable. However, the key that comes with the 08 through 12 fobs will not work in your rear hatch lock.

Doesn't matter what fob # is engraved on the back of the fob. However, there are 2 different fob programming procedures. If you use the short procedure that just adds a fob, it will automatically be programmed as the next fob number for your car. So, if you already had a fob #1 and a fob #2 programmed for your car, it would become #3. You would need to use the long procedure to reprogram all fobs you possess to get back to a #1 fob and a #2 fob.

Fob numbers greater than 2 do not have memory options. They can lock/unlock the car and start it. But they cannot set mirror position, set radio preset, or any other memory options programmed through the DIC.
