i had problems also, try disconnecting he battery for a few minutes and try again
Urgent help. My car won’t start
Hello,
I have 2010 SRX. I received one remote from the dealer when I purchase the vehicle. I bought another one from eBay which was ready to program. I put the original one in the cup holder and used the key in driver side door. I twisted it 5 times and it showed me ready to program key #3.
Since I only have one key, I wanted to delete all the key fob programming and start fresh with the existed one and the one I bought from eBay.
After it showed me ready to program key #3, I pressed the start switch and the car was out of programming and showed “no key detected”
And now when I try to put the original fob in the cup holder and twist the key in driver’s door 5 times, it still shows no key detected.
I’m able to lock and unlock my car with the key but it won’t start. It keeps showing me “key not detected”
Please help. I’m unable to start my car

So if you deleted all the keys and exited programming mode this makes snese.Hello,

In the owners manual there is a way to reprogram and start without any key being recognized.
It is a different sequence than the five door turns.
Also are you sure you are out of programming mode?
I had a similar issue and I was still in programming mode, even though I swore I wasn't.
I don’t know how to tell if I’m out of programming mode or not. I remember I did press the ignition switch and the display disappeared.So if you deleted all the keys and exited programming mode this makes snese.

And not when I unlock the car, it shows me error saying “no remote detected”
And I’m not 100% sure on how I deleted the key programming. It didn’t ask or say anything about it. It just did it
I’m gonna try to disconnect the positive terminal for 5 mins and see if it solves the issue or not.
always do the negative.... reduce the chance of short to the body and bad things happening also the cup holder is NOT the correct place RTFM dude
the good transmitter goes there the new in the secret console place - i did the same mistake
In the video, 0:20 you can see the guy puts the original key fob in the cup holder. That’s what I did too. I saw that video
now the video only shows how to program new Key fob and not how to delete the programming for the already stored key fob.

Thank you, I’ll try that as soon as I can and update the thread 
Refer to post #8. ALWAYS disconnect the negative first
When I programmed the spare I got off ebay the programming did not go smoothly either. The DIC went black on me and I was not sure it worked. The new fob didn't want to do anything at first. Went back a half hour later and car still didn't recognize it. For the heck of it I tried to lock and unlock the doors. That worked and then everything worked. That fob though is a bit wonky. Sometimes the car won't recognize it until I cycle it through lock/unlock first. Not a big deal for a spare, but if it was my primary this might get annoying. I've read others say there was a delay before the car decided to recognize a newly programmed fob, so hang in there. Seems like a little patience is warranted here.
