Problems with Ford Kuga: Key is not recognized

Failure of various systems in the vehicle
Key fob issues
Hello everyone, I have a Ford Kuga and am experiencing repeated problems with the vehicle key. After a diagnosis with Carly, the key was no longer recognized and the engine could no longer be started. Following a tip from a friend, I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes, after which everything worked perfectly again. This is now the second time this has happened. Could it be due to the Carly adapter? Has anyone had similar experiences or any ideas as to what the problem could be? Many thanks in advance!

Try using the vehicle without the adapter for a while to see if the problem persists. If the issue continues, it might be worth checking the key fob battery or having the key reprogrammed. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

Consider checking if there are any software updates available for the Carly adapter, as updates can sometimes resolve compatibility issues. If the problem persists without the adapter, it might be worth having the vehicle's electronic system checked by a professional. Let me know if you have any further questions!
