Suggestions were on other forums for other cars but the solutions ranged from waiting a few days (something got wet and needs to dry out) to removing the tint.

This is going to sound dumb but did you put anything in the rear wing window or bottom left of the back window like a decal, stuffed animal on the deck lid - anything like that? Were any other services installed even if not at the same time?
Having to hold the key to the start button has nothing to do with tint. You are already in the car. Every symptom is listed in the owners manual as an issue with the fob battery being low.
If changing the battery a couple of times (to rule it out) then I am baffled. Maybe try the second fob?
