: Key Bob Question
XLR_Lover 07-25-2007, 04:04 PM I have two key bobs each of them have a "1" stamped on the back.
Is it possible to use one of them as a "2"? Or will the car know it's a "1" and will
override the "1" I use daily. I suppose I could test it myself. . . but if someone knows the answer it would be great! :confused
Thanks,
Floyd
1_XLR 07-25-2007, 04:09 PM If both FOBs are marked 1 then you could assume the code inside is the same and they will not opperate independently.
DarkJediTL 07-25-2007, 04:13 PM Oh, I though he was refering to Bob being number 1, trying to build up Standby's ego!! :D LOL :glol
Mr XLR 07-25-2007, 04:29 PM The XLR is designed to use 2 distinctive BVlgari remotes 1 & 2. Thus being said 2 of the same of either will not operate the 2nd driver function. If you have the #1 remote, simply order the #2 remote from your XLR dealer. The part # is 10347464 for a 2004 XLR & 10354923 for 05/07.

Mr XLR 07-25-2007, 04:35 PM If memory doesnt totally escape me, you recently purchase this XLR-V from a dealer in MN? If so, the dealer most likely has the correct remote for your car at their dealership. In either case, you should not have to pay for a new one when they should have given you the correct remote from the begining.

XLR_Lover 07-25-2007, 04:53 PM Thanks to everyone!!
Allen, you're correct! I'll have to give them a buzz!
showsoff 07-25-2007, 07:06 PM It doesn't matter what number is on the remotes. You just mark them some how to tell them apart. Then just program them as the manual instructs, the car doesnt care what number is on them. You can have two #1's or two #2's or one of each. The computer can't see the number on the fob.

I agree with showoff. Each key fob has a different internal identification. Since both key fobs have already been programmed into the car receiver, one is programmed for driver one, the other is programmed for driver two. You just have to select which one to use for yourself.

I wonder how many combinations there are?
If we get enough XLR's in GB, then we can all walk around hitting the "emergency" button. Better yet, we'll be opening each others trunk.
XLR_Lover 07-25-2007, 10:05 PM Thanks again!
Actually that is what I thought would happen, you would just have to press the #2 button on the seat and the rest is MAGIC!!!
I'll give it a go tomorrow.

ebferro 07-26-2007, 11:24 AM What about programming the seats? If I have two key fobs that are both marked number 1 and I program the seats differently for each of the two key fobs, is the XLR smart enough to know which seat setting goes with which #1 key fob based on the key fob's internal unique identifier?
XLR KEN 07-26-2007, 12:37 PM The electronics in the key fob doesn't know what # is molded into the case. It's the fob "guts" that identify it to the car. The molded in number (#1 vs. #2) is so you know which one you have.
If you paint, etch, label etc. the one you want to set up and use, it'll always know "you" no matter what the molded in number is.
My wife took the #1 Fob because she's my "#1"...........of course I'm "#2" to the car.

rufcar 07-26-2007, 04:23 PM ken you sure are sure your #2 ! I wouldn't spread that around!! Hey I like that spreading #2 around!!!! LOL be well my friend jim
XLR KEN 07-26-2007, 05:01 PM Jim, #2 Happens! (true, not as funny) I'd probably be #3 if there was such a key fob............which begs a questions, is there such as thing as a #3 key fob.
I'm personally glad there's not; my son will NEVER drive the XLR. KEN

If they have not changed the way the key fob programming, the key fob that is programmed first is assigned to memory location 1 (inside the receiver which locates in the car). The second key fob is assigned to memory location 2.
Driver #1 preference is assigned to memory location 1..etc.

rufcar 07-26-2007, 05:21 PM There are times with all the computers and electrics I think about the movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" when the martians came and shut off all of our power. Today Like a huge sunspot does to teleacommincations. See I still remember those .20 black and white saturday matinees and Im only 57! I bet the next time some XLR owner goes out to start his car after reading this and the car is dead! He will think the Martians have landed!!!
Just where the hell is that #3 fob when you really need one? Jim
XLR_Lover 07-26-2007, 05:57 PM OK, here's the scoop:
The number on the back doesn't mean a thing. The second #"1" works as a #"2" would, if I had a #"2." It controls everything just like a real #"2" would do--YEA!!!
Also, each car can have up to 4 fobs--they're about $90.00 ea. if anyone is so inclined.
Thanks for all the input!!

Because the XLR has only two seats ;) ;) :party
XLR_Lover 07-26-2007, 08:09 PM If you were to purchase 1 or 2 more fobs, they would be numbered #3 & #4 after they've been removed from the docking station in the glove compartment. The car takes care of numbering them--pretty neat!! (Don't tell your kids!!!!)

Is there a Valet key fob for the XLR?
I remember the movie "Ferris Bueller Day Off" when the two valet guys took the convertible for a ride :yesnod
XLR_Lover 07-27-2007, 01:12 PM I don't believe so, but there is a switch.
Floyd
cubby558 07-27-2007, 03:09 PM Floyd,
That only keeps them out of the trunk and glove box. They could still take it for a ride ala Ferris Buellers Day Off!!

homegameroom 07-27-2007, 07:27 PM The valet switch also "locks" the operation of the top, so the valet can't move it up or down. Or drive it with the world's biggest wing with the trunk up!
