Had Car 15 months and today decided to try out keyless entry using phone. Car starts remotely but when pressing start button got message "cannot detect key".
Did some searches and thought it may be that phone needs setting up as key. Configured "My key" first which had not been done then I tried to set up the phone as a key but all instructions on line dealt with new set up when "use my phone as a key" prompt is available I gave up on this but I did try starting car with the phone (No fob nearby)got the normal "press start button screen"... which I did but got the No key detected, so gave up the idea of using my phone if I lost the fob. Then tried keyless and phone less entry, when I pressed start button I got the annoying "No key detected" and no link to use a backup code. It appears that you can only use a backup code to start the car when it is input as part of the PAAK procedure. Is the only way to put this code in to remove/disconnect phone from car and reinstall go through phone set up and PAAK procedure to put in back up code ?
