Key FOB programming
My 2016 will not start unless i insert the key in the pocket! both keys have new batteries, both remotes lock and unlock the doors, remote start is working. Once I use the pocket and start the car the both keys work for a few days. Battery load test is ok battery holding at 680 amps no loose cables?????

Go back to the store and buy new FOB batteries. The ones you used are:

Well, I'm not going to argue. Go to this thread and follow the flow chart for FOB not detected. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...s-and-rke.html

Thanks for the chart tip I will try it.I think there is some issue when the car sits for long periods. I have seen other concerns about the same issue I am having but no posts for repairs?

All of a sudden my primary fob started going through a battery every other week, I would have to go through the whole routine. A new fob cured the issue, but the cars memory feature does not recognize the new fob, so it's only good for unlock and start.

You probably added the FOB as #3. If you want the 2 FOBs you have to be #1 & #2, then perform the long program on the chart in this thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-g...s-and-rke.html
