My 2013 Limited w/ MFT seems to be forgetful sometimes. It has the issue with the ambient light defaulting to the light blue color, but out of nowhere, it "forgot" my second keyfob. I had used it the night prior, drove home, parked, locked the door with the keyfob; but when I came back out the next morning, it's like it forgot about that keyfob. My other keyfob worked, so I thought it was just the batteries. Changed the battery and it still didn't work. I checked the keyless entry settings and it showed that only one key was programmed. It literally forgot about the other key. So, now I'm down to one key.
Has anyone else had this happen? When I bought the car, one of the fobs didn't have an actual key in it and the second fob had a key but it's just a blank. Could that have caused it...being the fob with no key in it? Would the dealer reprogram the second fob (for cheap/free) since it was programmed one minute and not the next? If not, how much does a "reprogramming" typically cost? Does it *have* to be done by the dealer?
