Thanks, brother! I just ran threw it. No sweat whatsoever. You are a lifesaver! I'm glad I didn't go through the dealer. I went on eBay, bought me a brand new OEM fob for $90 rather than the dealer charging me $202 for the fob and then charging me an additional $130 to program it for me. I owe you a case of beer, man. Bless you and stay safe. 💯

I cant get it. I left the key found in my house away from the car. When the 3rd 10 minutes was over it says ready for fob #1. I only have 1 fob to program. So I put the fob in and it says ready for #2. So then while the fob is still in the slot I hit the bottom half of the on button. It than says no fob detected but I hear the relays turn on. So I don't know whats going on?

You have to pull it out of the slot then hit the stop button

At the start of this video you laid out the fobs on the wash/dryer, I assumed that your fob crapped out because it was laundered. I did that to one of my Fobs for my Dodge RAM, couldn't find my keys anywhere and then I realized that they were in my other pants... the ones going thru a rinse cycle. But it still works, surprising.

That's good to know.. But after 6x of it learning the fobs, I still get the error message when attempting to start the car.. I can unlock the doors, sound alarm, pop trunk, etc.. but I can't start the car.. "no fob detected"..

@tjmoneybags 2 жыл бұрын

So frustrating. None of my fobs were working. Ive done it 3 times start to finish. the fobs never work. Both have newer batteries. I had 1 near the car when I started the last 2 times...removing it from the area to start. 3rd time, left the 2nd fob in the slot and hit the stop button as a change. nothing. 4th time...removed all fobs from area before starting. going to get new batteries as a change up too. also removed the key after turning it to get into prog mode. I learned for attempt 3 that another set of instructions says you MUST hit unlock of each fob to finalize the programming and confirm operation.....but it doesn't say when>> after you hit stop on the acc button or before? with the last fob in the slot or none? I refuse to tow this to the dealer. #4 SUCCESS after calling my salesman at chevy and having him talk to a tech....he said to hold the stop button down for 15 secs to be sure it is getting completely out of learning mode....I was merely tapping it before and it was clicking, IDK....either it was that or I also got new batteries in both remotes. I know I replaced both this year...but regardless, IT WORKS.

@tjmoneybags 2 жыл бұрын

Congrats on the re-programming Randy, it can be frustrating for sure.. Not sure if you're aware, the C6 has an electric hatch pull to lock feature that is on all the cars. If you lightly close the hatch and set it on the mechanism it will electrically pull the hatch shut to lock it. I'm just being OCD now, but I cringe every time I see someone slam their rear hatch on one of these cars. Just lower the hatch down until it stops, some times you may need to just put a little downward pressure on it to get it to latch.. Just my $0.02.. Keep the videos coming !

Be sure to take the key back out of the trunk lock. I think the key could be removed after it is in programming mode but I didn't try it. My fobs didn't seem to work until I took the key back out though. And I think the first time I didn't have the fobs far enough away from the car.

@StealthyWolfDaddyWerewolf 6 жыл бұрын

AAR, It was cool to learn that GM let's you program transponder keys without having to go to the dealer. For Ford, you have to have 2 programmed keys to program a 3rd. Eitherwise they use the super expensive rotunda tool to do diagnostics and programming. My 05 town car, I use the obd link mx2 and Forsys or Ford sys to do all the diagnostic stuff on my phone. I have a locked sct xcal3 tuner for engine stuff. But I just haven't spent the 100.00 to send it in and unlock it after I bought it. But if you really get into Ford stuff like the mustang you had. The sct xcal tuners are the way to go. From what I heard they can send a tune to bypass the pats security system. Along with being able to change your differential gears to calibrate the speedometer, turn off oxygen sensors .etc. I bought mine for my 99 town car that I put a built 01 mustang GT engine in. But I blew it because my 4r70w transmission had bad solenoids that resulted in a full throttle trans slip / money shot going uphill. Anyways, that's a really cool Corvette. I used to have a c4 and c5 years ago. I rember when we bought our c5. The dealer was talking about the c6 coming out with the automatic top, navigation, and heated seats. Just too bad they didn't keep the pop up headlights. That was my favorite part about the c5s. My question is does the c6 do 170 top speed like the c5 or 180? Lol. My c4 did 155 maybe 160 and they were both automatics.

My fob 2 works but only in USA units of measure. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

2008 Corvette. Took me two times with this process. I programmed only ONE FOB. The first time did not work when leaving the FOB in the slot. However, on the 2nd atttempt, I waited for 10+ seconds after it read "ready for FOB #2." I removed the FOB and hit the bottom half the start button and it detected no FOB, but when hitting the "unlock" button on the FOB, it lit up and was programmed. Everything worked on the FOB. Hope this helps someone.

I believe the corvette symbol on the fob completes a circuit in the hole, not the buttons.

Hey Randy, really hope you see this because I know this video is just about one year old 😬.

Now I can’t unlock the car at all anymore😫. Will reprogramming the fob solve this issue since it was working in the beginning? Thanks in advance!
