Doh! Battery change in key fob.

I was changing the Battery and left it too long, now it doesn't work. Can I get it going again?

Assuming the Battery you put in is good then try pressing and holding down unlock for up to 30 seconds until the car responds.

I just did an experiment. I used the working fob to open the car, then put it at the back of the house, out of range. Then I got in the car with the non responsive one and tried to start the car. The car said 'Key not detected', but when I put it by the power button, it started. Got back out and couldn't lock the car with it.

Holding down the open button for thirty seconds didn't work unfortunately.
