I did everything, tapped it on the outerside of the handle, inside the handle, flipped the card around and did both. Finally after walking away from the car and walking back, it recognized the card and unlocked. Security was ready to pull me away from the car thinking i was lying. Since that day, card is now tucked back into the car manual, never using that piece of junk again.
Exactly what I'm afraid of. Which is why, even though it has worked every time I tried, I still have my wife carry my key just in case.
When I go out alone, I always carry the key with me.

OT - Does connecteddrive not work for you? I would've tried unlocking my car via the app had it not worked for me. Just wondering whether it would start if the handle doesn't recognize the card.
Oh God, let's not start with connecteddrive app! Even more unreliable than the key card. Still waiting for a fix to this day!!!
