Default Identify this FOB?


I just bought a 2015 Stingray and was given two extra fobs. One is normal but the other has just two little red buttons "A" and "B"

What is the function of this one?

Thanks.

It could be for some type of aftermarket system on the car, alarm maybe. Or, someone left there house alarm FOB on the key ring by mistake. I say that 'cause our house alarm FOB has two buttons also for on/off.

Congratulations. Now, how about a picture of that Corvette.

Push the buttons and see what happens. My guess is aftermarket exhaust controller.

I recognize that fob.

It is a custom install that I have on my car.

Button A is the passenger ejection seat.

Button B returns the seat back into place after throwing the bitchy passenger out.

The Mild 2 Wild exhaust controller comes with remotes that are similar.

If you have a passenger do not push button B, they will eject.

Turns out the "A" button turns on (and off) blue lighting in the side louvers on the front fenders. I haven't figured out what the 'B" is for, if anything- it does not affect the exhaust sound and does not eject the passenger.

A few months back I dropped my fob on a parking lot, and it went bad. I had lost my other one when I was moving. So I went to the dealer to get a new fob for my C6 Corvette. It took almost a week to get it right. The first one that they sent didn't work. They had engineers at GM trying to figure out what was wrong. It turned out that GM had a misprint in their parts catalog. They shipped me a correct fob overnight, and I finally got my car back. Glad I had my old pickup for backup duty.
