    Don’t take this the wrong way as I’m trying to help.

    In your other thread, you were asked a few days ago to post screenshots of the data. It would help with diagnostics but nothing has been posted. Also, just a suggestion, but keeping the problem to one thread would help those trying to help you solve the problem.

    Where you using a cracked version of TechStream?

    I'd maybe post in your local regional forum.
    Maybe someone has a scan tool with IMMO capability.

    Where are you located?

    You dont need a programmed key to perform a reset.

    You simply start the procedure over again and follow it carefully.

    Big thing is don't close the drivers door, and don't turn the key on when its doing the 15 minute reset.

    I also put a battery charger on to be safe.

    I did everything you said it went throught the sixteen minute process then it says to remove key at that point its suppose to say please insert new key to be made a master key but it never did that after the 16 minute process it said remove key and nothing happened after that. I know how to do it as i have done before many times but this time it didnt do the last step to create a new master key.
