I wrote the wrong security code. What should i do to change it?

If the car remembers two keys and I have only one, the only way to add the second key is to remove all keys and add both again?

Hi.

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 ?

Sorry if this has already been posted, but anyone in the UK this seems like a bit of a bargain, it says C40 but I programmed one to my XC60 with Orbit…

"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?
