Yes when programming keys the procedure erases the keys and must have two programmable fobs with you when programming. Otherwise car can be immobilized. Ive had some cars in take several attempts and have had to recover them from this state before. Takes patience. Last one took over an hour. Tell the dealer to follow the tech service bulletin, it helps.
But did you see first part of question regarding keys the same in a US modell as a European modell??.
And do you have to have US PC software to program a US car fob in Europe?? Or will both function, got a feeling that service People did not know much about this. And last, can you load EU map on a US navi unit? (i thought it would be easy since only map info is needed FOR gps to recognize where car is) Is it best to set up navi and radio unit to EU spec since car is here, for making it easier for later services.?? Or is it best to let it be and just load EU map for navi.??

And what is service bulletin regarding keys?, i do not think they know. Had to leave shop without car and live over 2hour drive away. And is it not normal in Fisker world to order key by VIN number on car to get right parts?? Becouse they said they got European keys. And they know where car is from strangely they still ordered European keys. Thanks for a answer so i maybe can give tip to my fisker shop and get car back asap. Thanks very much

The key fobs are the same US or Europe Fisker only has one part number listed
C131191101000 and yes you can load Europe Maps onto a U.S. Spec car I've done that they need the Europe 510 software . As for the bulletin for key programming Fisker site to get bullitens is down right now . As mentioned by Joe key fob programming is tricky but can be done . They need to have two key fobs present in order for them to program .
If they can't get the keys programmed they will need to remove the VCM and send the VCM and keys to Fisker HQ and have them program them.

Scan tool is the same. It only puts the vehicle control module into "learn mode". If you can pm me an email address for the service center working on the car I will send them the service bulletin to show how to do it.

I think, as they have to compete to German Cars, the European will be more comfortable....
