Have a 2017 V6 Convertible with the standard 5-button key fob. Purchased a used 2018 fob with 5 buttons from eBay. Looks different but I read here the 2018 fobs work with the 2017s.
Went through the programming steps with my 2 existing key fobs and the 3rd key fob.
Usually on the last step I get 2 message boxes:
"Key not detected"
"Key program failure"
Does the old key have to be "unprogrammed" somehow? This is a used key that has never been unprogrammed / deprogrammed as far as I know. Manual says to use a "new unprogrammed" key.
I tried following the steps properly. Does the key need to be any specific orientation?
Perhaps the 2018 fob is not compatible with the 2017.
