lower than the last time you checked, then the MyKey
system has
been recently cleared.
• # MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED — Indicates how many MyKeys are
programmed to the vehicle. Can be used to detect deletion of a
MyKey
.
• # ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED — Indicates how many admin keys
are programmed to the vehicle. Can be used to detect if an additional
spare key has been programmed to the vehicle.
