If you crank it do the ews errors come back?

Key invalid because of incorrect identification. How many keys do you have?

As I recall, an initialized correct key must be on position-2 while doing this procedure.
You may need to reinitialize your keys.
Also, you did recharge the battery, right ?!

Read the DME errors and post back. I am Pretty sure your EWS is bad...

For effbombs sake, for the 1000th time... remote initialization has nothing to do with starting the car.
Put that new dealer key in the ignition.
Connect INPA again.
Open the EWS again.
Posting the errors is only 1/2 of what you were there for. Maybe less.
Go to the "Internal" and "Act Key" pages and see what they say.
THOSE ARE THE CRITICAL FIRST IMPORTANT THINGS TO LOOK AT FOR A NO CRANK.
Those pages are the entire reason you wanted to have INPA hooked up in the first place.
I think above I mistakenly said "Digital Status" instead of "Internal" - OK sorry if I can't always remember the exact text for every single module menu... but as you can see in the screencap from a month ago, its obv "Internal State" on the EWS...
At any rate F1-F3 are the keys that let you see what the EWS is "seeing" and whether it is blocking starter.
Look at those pages and then post back here.

GG is correct! Just because the car locks and unlocks does not mean the car will start as they are totally seperate functionalities. In my experience when the EWS cannot recognize the key and it stores an invalid key error (especially a brand new dealer key) The EWS is usually at fault here. The DME usually has an "EWS Interface" fault stored...

True - I'm reading OP as saying he's not getting EWS errors anymore after clearing, but if thats not the case and they keep coming back after clearing and using a new dealer key... then indeed something w/ EWS (or bestcase scenario - just the ring antenna?) is the direction.
But - short of having seen the Internal page - also could be something as simple as the EWS having a bad park/neutral signal... which will show up very clearly there.
But reading those 2 pages (Internal and Key) are critical before jumping off any further...

That is the thing, I don't get a EWS menu. I can read and clear codes. There were those 3 codes, cleared and didn't come back.
Open the EWS again.

Using the shop scanner, it opened EWS, no codes stored. On another menu was a list with possible scenarios: starter lock, stsrter interrupt, ews lock, etc. But none were highlighted....

Ok so they key is not showing as invalid anymore according to your pics. Can you post the DME errors?
Reading internal status, F1, F2, F3, F4 (ERROR.ECU.REJECTED) all key data, reading, sending etc. Clutch switch on/off works.
Hope from that code ECU didn't take a dump.

DUDE that is the screen i have been telling you to go to for a month.
It is right there clear as day. "Starter switched off due to.... P/N / USA-clutch switch".
Why did you keep babbling on about "I dont get anything but this error screen and it kicks me out"!? Its right there. SMH SMH SMH.
This is a 5-speed, right?
Your car won't turn the starter because of an issue with the clutch switch.
Get under there and look at the clutch switch. There will be two.
You need the one that is at the BOTTOM of the clutch throw - aka that clicks when the clutch is on the floor. You can actually code it out with NCSExpert but might be just as easy/fast to get under there and find what the problem is. Might be just jiggling the switch will make it work again. BTDT.
Now. Once you fix THAT if it cranks but does'nt start and still shows up ECU errors that's a different story. After all the failed attempts to start the car maybe the EWS sync is now out of whack - you can try to resync in the DME page AFTER you get it crnaking, but...
One thing at a time.
Get it to crank and get that black button on that page to disappear first.

This pic says it all... Shouldn't it have the gears on the cluster?
