When you say that it didn't work what did it do? If you have an RX_ANT_IN on the back of your K3 then you do have the KXV3 or KXV3A installed in your radio. When you pressed the button did you get an RX on the display? Also make sure that you have enabled the KXV3 in the config menu. If you've used it before then you've probably already done this...
