Default Problems after changing fob battery

I changed the battery in my key fob after my C7 didn't see it now and then. After changing it the fob didn't work - and I figured out that I had the battery in upside down - duh.

Now I can open the doors, but that's about it. The car won't start and seems to be wholly immobilized.

Any ideas? I know with my C5 you had to resynch the fob after a battery change.

Thanks for reading,

GOZ2FST (actually not going anywhere right now).

Never mind - fixed it. I was stuck in a reprogramming sequence trying to fix it. Entering the car and pressing the unlock botton on the door ended that.

Everything is back to normal.

BTW I found this helpful hint in an old C7 Gen thread - so Corvette Forum comes through again!

Slot is now located on the side of the steering column, about where the key used to be on many cars.
