I changed mine and the car wouldn't start. The doors would open and the ignition would turn on, but the starter wouldn't engage to start the car. [EDIT: starter wouldn't engage with, or without the brake pedal depressed.]

I immediately plugged back in to reconnect, changed that one code back, and all was well.

If I were to try again, I would change that code, and there's another one that's nearly identical. Perhaps they both need to be modified?

It's not that important really; I just thought it would be convenient to start the car by reaching across when I'm putting a backpack in the right-front seat.
not sure what was in the cheat sheet, but did the programming on F10 before and it works - did you DOUBLE press the start button? you need to press it twice for the engine to start
