Key fob not working

To unlock/lock my doors etc I need to use the physical key which is very annoying now, I bought the car with the key how it is. It is not comfort access. What can I do to get the key to start working again? (It starts the car fine no problems)

The car should have come with two fobs; does the other work?

If not, possible charging problem with socket in dash. If yes, battery in fob may be dead...

I would say that your batteries no longer work or at least they are too weak to transmit an unlock signal to the car. They still work in the ignition because of the close proximity to the reader.

Time to change your batteries: https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1577728
