Solution:

The keyless ones have to see the key in the emergency key position to allow operation.

Key must be in a coil detection area, that is why you couldn’t read.

Put key in the correct compartment and try again. Put key in the slot beside the steering.

Also if manual put it in 1st drivers seat belt on and hazards.

 

Optional solution:

Try leaving the ignition on even when it asks you to turn it off, or disconnect the battery for a while and try again.

Play around around with ignition on off timings. Don’t wait for flex, when it says ignition on click ok and then wait around 5-8 seconds before you turn it on. If you’ve done any resets with diag make sure ignition off for 2mins before you connect flex
Sid807 Evo if password protected can be done obd, if non password protected boot only, should still connect to update to latest software.

User feedback:
Disconnected battery for some time did the fix and worked.
