If changing the battery a couple of times (to rule it out) then I am baffled. Maybe try the second fob?
Yeah I’ve tried a few packs of batteries in both remotes, not to mention I’d be willing to bet the dealer tried one or two because they thought the same thing: has to be the battery. Red light shows on both remotes with all the batteries. Weirdest thing is it works sometimes, very rarely, but twice it randomly started working. Could lock/unlock doors, handle unlock worked, push to start without it close worked. Then next time I got in the car it was back to nothing again. But that was twice out of maybe 40 times since the problem started.

Edit: also can’t thank you guys enough for the help
