Default reprogram key fob

Can our fobs be reprogrammed to a new different c7 corvette








Can our key fobs be reprogrammed to another c7 corvette? I'm thinking of trading and have extra fobs

I don't think so. Once they've been programmed to one, it seems like it sets a register and can't be used with another VIN. I know of at least one person that tried this and it didn't work. Also know of one member here that had an old FOB and couldn't get that one to re-program to the same car. That last example should have worked. No idea why not. It can be a finicky process programming FOBs. Here's another example, you have to have the same part number FOB, meaning same number of buttons. The 2014/2015 have a different frequency, then all the models have different functions, convertible, remote start, etc. There are all sorts of little details to this process.

Yes. But there are 8 different part numbers. Also 2014-15 are not compatible with 2016-19 at all and vice versa.

(I can personally say that a 2014 fob will not be recognized by a 2019)

ALL OF THE PAIRING INFO IS SAVED IN THE CAR. FOBS ARE NOT ALTERED OR CONFIGURED AT ALL.

Fobs do not get programmed; cars get programmed.
