Different area, different dealer. Not all are the same. The one I normally go to I would have no issue taking it to them...others in others areas I've lived or one close to me currently. Fug no.

OP - Definitely a MYKey feature

its the my key, if u dont have an admin key then u will have to go to the dealer and have him blow the old keys out of memory and reprogram making 1 of the new keys the admin, this will shut off the my key feature and at the same time make it so u can reactivate it if u want and assign one of your other keys as a my key.

Sounds like the rental place made a my key to give out, but kept the admin key when they sold the car since you only have one key. And that display is confirming for you that there were 2 keys for the car one as an admin and one converted to "my key".

So yes, you have to go to the dealer to get a new admin key made and programmed; then de-program the "my key". While you're there might as well ask about them doing a second key so that you have 3 keys. That way if you ever lose one you can still program another key yourself. It takes 2 working admin keys to program another key.

pay attention to what Jim said about having 3 keys....ya don't want to pay the dealer twice. I would get the dealer to make me 2 and do a third on my own.
