Sounds like the key/dme/immobilizer aren't matched up.

1 thing would be to find someone close to you that you can take the combo from your car and put in theirs to see if it still starts, or do the opposite.

Other thing would be to send it off to someone like ecu doctors for testing/fixing.

next would be to get a durametric that can scan the immbolizer and look at all of the codes, a standard reader can't do this. Of course, the dealer should be able to do this also.

Not sure how you (or if you had someone do it) "cloned" things over. This isn't a simple thing to do with these cars.
