FOB stopped working
 

My FOB would not work this morning. Parked at a friends house and left the FOB out in the cold as we were moving stuff around. And it was dead. Placed it in my coat pocket and it worked 15 mins later. Wonder if it being cold was the problem?

Might mean that the battery is getting weak. Probably would be worthwhile replacing the battery just for grins. I've had to replace the FOB batteries for Connie's 2001 Silverado a couple of times now. I can't remember replacing any of the vette's FOB batteries, but that doesn't mean I haven't.

There is a slot in the glove box you can stick the FOB in that should start the car. I don't think my 06 C6 had that slot.

Yeah, I think both the 2007 we used to have and 2009 we still have had that feature. Evidently the FOB puts out a something even if the battery is dead and the slot is close enough to the antenna for it to work in that manner.

I would hate to get stuck somewhere over a FOB. Never had a problem with them before on any car or truck.

Yeah, honestly I like having a REAL key to start the engine. Even with the C5s, there is too much circuitry between me trying to start the car, and the PCM allowing me to do that. Basically we are asking the PCM permission to "start the car, pretty please."

I would like to do away with all that auto lock crap.
