I've recently purchased a 2017 CX-5 and am about to upgrade the firmware from the v59 to the latest one so I can instal the aftermarket CarPlay module. A few weeks ago I managed (after like 5 tries) to program 2 extra keyfobs with one of the aftermarket ODB plugin devices that you buy on Amazon. The keyfobs seems to work fine and a locksmith cut the keys and they are also working well but I have a little red key error code that also comes up on the main dial and in one of the info screens as an error.
After I saw the error I changed the batteries on all the key fobs to make sure it wasn't an old key fob battery causing the error. At the moment everything works though so I'm not too concerned. Is there an easy way to clear this error and see if it comes back?
Is this something I need to clear or resolve before upgrading the firmware and installing the CarPlay module?
Thanks!

Reading things online seem to say that disconnecting the battery for a few minutes could be a way to clear the key fob error and / or see if it comes back. I will try that as it seems pretty harmless either way.
