Linking keys

Has anyone been having trouble linking your keys to the car? I just bought the gt and the previous owner didn't link them. The hour glass just goes on circles and eventually just says couldn't link them.

If you are referring to key fobs, that must be done by service. You can link the phone key in the app yourself. I use that 100% of the time, my key fobs are stored away. That said, it is still a good idea to get them linked.

That's strange, service should have linked them as part of PDI but not associated them to a profile. So if they won't lock/unlock your car, have you tried putting new batteries in them? If you did, then it's what @Bobby wrote.

i bought this car used and they were not linked...however i did figure out the problem...the batteries were bad lol.

i just assumed the batteries were fresh as the previous owner didnt have the keys linked either and plus the car only had 900 miles on it. as soon as i replaced the batteries the thing linked up instantly lol

That means the key fobs *were* linked but the batteries were dead. If the fobs weren’t linked to the car they wouldn’t open it at all.

This is different from linking the fobs to a profile.

The keys weren't linked... the fobs didn't open doors or show up under any profiles... ive been using the key card to get in and I can't use phone because the car isn't linked to my account yet

When you replaced the batteries did they unlock the doors? If so, they were paired.

Either way, I’m glad it’s working now!
