Ok...I'm hoping someone smarter then me can explain this....what is the purpose of the key inside of the FOB? I'm not aware of any locks on the C7 that can use this key. Is the key and it's specific cutting pattern what the FOB uses to verify the correct car?

Check your owners manual. You can use the metal key to access the trunk.

Until they come around I may glue one of these tiles to the back of the fob.
Solution looks promising https://www.thetileapp.com

Before you pay the dealer big $$ for programming your 2nd key, see if you can find a local locksmith who deals in cars. In many cases, the local dealers tend to use them when they get auction cars in the lot, etc. I was able to get a 2 extra keys and remote fob sourced and programmed by a Willowbrook Locksmith for $70, with a fixed $30 programming fee.

I bought a spare key off EBay for a few bucks and my local dealer cut it for free, can't beat that.

I just had to buy a new FOB. Lost the spare. The price at the dealer was $160 for the transmitter. $55 for the key itself. And $40 to program it. To all others. DON'T LOOSE THE RKE!
