    Question 05 Doesn't recognize key Fob #1 settings

    This makes me feel dumb, but here it goes. Purchased a beautiful O5 convertible and setup preferences for both key fobs. Car is originally a US car and dash speedo switches to metric just fine. However, it only recognizes and changes settings (including dash, seats, etc.) with key Fob #2. Key...
