So I remember accidentally having water in the cup holder and it was in there for a while before I actually took the water out so after I lifted the center column up I saw water damage and burns but not a lot burns on plastic but I been trying to program a new key and some reason the car is not detecting any of the keys that are trying to be programmed so I just want to know if you know what I should do.

The first thing that needs to be done is the burned wiring repaired. Then I would use the scanner to clear the codes and then do a hard system reboot. This should set the system up to be able to relearn the start-up programs. Here is a guide to help you.

Code B2955: Security System Sensor Data Circuit Low
Code B2900: VIN Information Mismatch

Also, let's check the fuse BCM #6 (f21) here is a guide to check for power which the fuse should be hot at all times.

Suggested Repair

Repair the burned wiring from the cup-holder water damage first. Clear the codes with a scanner, perform a hard system reboot so the vehicle can relearn startup programs, and check BCM fuse #6 (F21), which should have power at all times. Photos of the damage can help assess severity.

Conversation Summary

A 2017 Chevrolet Camaro owner reported code B2955-00 (security sensor data circuit) after water sat in the cup holder and caused visible damage and burns under the center console. The car will not detect keys during programming. The expert advised repairing the burned wiring, clearing codes, doing a hard system reboot, and checking BCM fuse #6 (F21) for constant power. Related codes noted were B2955 (security system sensor data circuit low) and B2900 (VIN information mismatch).
