I managed to brick my car. I bought an extra car for $1500. It came with one key and upon inspection noticed that it was full of green corrosion (it's a proximity key/fob). Anyway, I bought two keys and a topdon topscan pro which can do key programming. I started the procedure and when you do that it erases all keys stored in the computer and then you relearn all the new keys one at a time. There's a little nfc reader in the car where you insert each key during the learning process and then a little light on the dash is supposed to blink. Well it didn't blink during the process and none of the keys will start the car. I'm not sure if the little nfc slot is bad or there's a problem with the programmer I bought. So yeah, I have a dead car for right now until I can figure out the problem.
