I have an '09 CX-9 GT and can not program the remote. The directions for the card key programming say (the Note under Step 8) that the door lock and unlock actuator on the car will activate after Step 3 (insert the supplementary key into the ignition key cylinder). After Step 9 a Note indicates the same thing will happen after Step 8 is completed.
When I've tried this, the first door lock/unlock (after Step 3) does NOT occur, but the second, after Step 8 does. After completing the directions, the new card key does NOT get programmed. Tried this several times, but see next.
I've tried it multiple times and sometimes I get the second lock/unlock, but have never gotten the first lock/unlock sequence.
Any thoughts?
FYI: The new/unprogrammed key has an identical codes as the OEM key cards that came with the car and the battery is fresh.
