Thanks exactly what I have to do - unlocking with a physical key and inserting the key into the ignition within 10 seconds. Unfortunately, the remote doesn't unlock once the alarm arms. Only the interior lights light up.

None of the key resyncing procedures I've tried have worked...and I've tried all of them.
