Issue programming a new key

[BennyTheBeaver]

Haw anyone had issues programming a 3rd key? I've followed all steps multiple times, no luck. My 3rd key is the same model number as the original 2 keys.

Any tips or suggestions would be fantastic.

Both fobs have to be with you to program the 3rd I think.

I did this with a generic key fob I ordered from aliexpress with no issue. This extra fob is left in the truck in faraday bag in locked center console safe. Mainly use for back up incase I lost my fob and for when I drop it off for service. Definitely need two original key fob.

I have both original key rings and have been following the directions.

Find a different set of directions from a different source. There may be an error in the directions you have. Or you and the directions aren't at the same level. You need a second opinion. Try a video instead for instance.

When programming my 3rd key remote control I had to try about 5 or 6 times to get it to work.

Also note that the manual does not mention which direction to insert the fob in the section about programming the remote controls, but in the section about Creating a MyKey it states that the buttons should be facing toward the rear of the vehicle.

Timing matters. Have to do it quick.
