get in ur car.. close the door, put key in ignition, turn to position 2, hit r button on left side of cluster 2 times (below plus/minus buttons), turn ignition to off, press and hold r button again and turn ignition back to position 2.. wait until the fss resets.. should be 10 seconds or so.. maybe longer.

I think you still need to have the button pressed when switching from position 2 to zero.

each time I do it it takes me a few times to get it right

make sure your door is closed.. put the key in the ignition and turn from position 0 (zero) to position 2.. press the (0) button (under the plus and minus on the cluster) 2 times and let go, switch the key to the 0 position, press and hold the 0 button within 5 seconds of performing the whole deal and switch ignition back to position 2 and hold (0) until the FSS resets.. should be 10-15 seconds.
good luck.

hey but is it really necessary to close the door? I've done it few days ago, door open and no problem.

Thanks:)
