Bad Key

[purplepig]

My 2015 F3 has been giving me " BAD KEY" when I go to start it, it does this with both keys and will start after anywhere from 1 to 5 tries. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan
P.S. I tried searching forum for answers but it won't let me search "bad key". Not enough letters in the words.

I had the problem about a 6 months ago (2015 F3-S SE6) and my local dealer reset everything and it went away. But it is back again. Happens to me daily as well. No clue way. I just turn the key on and off several times till it starts. I carry both keys with me, just in case. Fails on both keys as well.

Hey Dan. Google picks up threads from here really well. Just reference spyderlovers in the search box - such as "bad key spyderlovers".

It's known as a DESS error.
