Default Battery Replacement

I just put a New Car Battery in my 2012 G/S and NOW I get a Dic Reading that says NO-Fobs Found. Tried using the Manual and can not seem to get Past Acc. Mode ON . Never says WAIT or Counts Down 10
Minutes. I Put Fob in Glove Box and Turned the Key in Back 5 Times ??
NOTHING SEEMS to WORK !! The Car Locked Me in Twice and Emergency
Alarm went OFF a Couple of Times . I am Getting Really a Little Hot Over This !! Last Fall it Alarmed with US in it and had to Use the Pull-Tabs to
Get-Out. That is Why I Just Installed a NEW Car BATTERY . My Wifes'
Flob Usually Works when Mine Doesn't !! But NOW it won't and Takes 5
MINUTES of Constant Trying Just to Get-in-the-Car. Should not be This
difficult to get-in and START Your CORVETTE . Why Should I have to Pay
a DEALER $100.00+ to RE-PROGRAM the FOBS just for Battery Change.
Oh Yeah , I did Put NEW Batteries in the FOBs ALSO !! Thanks,02 VETTER

It is always possible the new battery you bought has been sitting on the shelf at the parts store for a long time and may not be fully charged. If you have a tender or charger, try charging the battery. If not, take it back where you bought it and have it load tested.

I agree, may have gotten an overage battery.

I agree with all of the above. And fyi, you never have to reprogram a fob. They don't lose their memory...ever.

The first time I had the same problem, I inadvertently put the FOB battery in backwards. Had to check the wife's FOB to figure it out,
