Seems like some used keys can't be programmed to the car ("Programming Fault" error message). But other used ones programmed successfully to the same car.

Does someone know maybe some keys need to be erased ?

"Program Error" is most likely, just a bad key. I would always try a fresh battery of course, to be sure it is not just that. 

I don't actually know...what error you get when you have too many keys programmed. But you can have a total of 12, so most people probably won't hit that. Good idea to have a dispaly of how many keys in OrBit, I will add that to my list of things. When you program a key successfully it tells you which "slot" it is, that is how many keys total, so "Key program successful, slot 6" for example, that means you have 6 key fobs programmed to the car. 

The feedback from the CEM that OrBit translates to the return message from trying to add a key, is pretty basic. Program Error means the key was detected successfully, but the CEM had some error trying to pair it.

No steps forward for pin retrieving for more CEM versions?
