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.
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.
