I drove home and next day my car won't start. I was told my key code is lost and it was replaced but now it won't start.

Hi,

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I have little technical information on it. However, I will try my best to help.

First, what happens when you turn the key to the start position? Does the starter engage and turn the engine or does nothing happen? Also, is the security light staying on?

Who reprogrammed the code and how was it done?

Let me know.
