I had my #2 FOB lost/stolen........ whole other story, so I got a new #2 FOB and I went through the steps 1-6:

roll down windows
open glove box
place working FOB on console
(I keep the un-programmed FOB in my pocket)
put key in cylinder and open rear hatch then turn key 5 times less than 5 seconds


My DIC never says anything about learn or program FOB like its supposed to?

I tested my glove box FOB reader by taking the battery out of the FOB and placing the FOB in the slot and the car starts

what am I doing wrong here?

my car is a 07 Zo6

any inputs?

The manual says that the car must be in reverse. Could that be the issue? Other than that, looks like you are doing things correctly.

Joshua Detwiler

that didn't work either, the only thing that happens is the yellow padlock icon blinks on the dash next to the speedo

Anyone else got any ideas or know what the dealership would charge?

C6 Comprehensive Fob Programming Instructions.... several different methods here to get the DIC into programming mode.

None of ^that^ worked for me. If you have another working fob the dealer will use a Tech II to just pair the new fob from the working one. I had to take this route, and they charged me $25. I have no idea how much they charge if you don't have a working fob. Good luck.

I have a working FOB and they still want 60 bucks, thats the lowest I could find in Las Vegas, one dealership wanted 120

Does anyone know if there is a DIY youtube video on this?

4. Put working fob on console next to shifter (the one you are currently using to drive the car)

Point #4; follow this and it should work. I was having the same issues until I put the working fob next to the shifter.

Extra fob now programmed. YMMV

Fob program put it in Reverse. I did program a #1 fob into a #3 fob.
When I saw my dic say program #3 I put it in the slot and did it. I never did check to see what is up between #1 and #2. I've only had the one fob the #2 fob.

The fob needs to be in the slot in the glovebox with fob buttons facing the passenger side. Car manual explained it well.
