Each key saves the settings used. For example my wife's key will have its own settings for radio presets, Nav favorites, seating position etc that she uses. If you only use your one key but have never used the second it may have no settings associated with it. We've had folks do this before so just throwing it out there as an idea...
As for the battery, being that new it should be OK. Can't speak to the coding issue...
