Key Fob Issues

I very recently purchased a 2013 GTS 86 and hoping you guys might potentially know abit more about what's up or some tests I could run.

My key fob doesn't unlock the doors or trunk for my car, but the cars indicators will flash showing that it's received the signal from the fob (sometimes it wont do this though), the car will also detect keyless entry for the fob with the interior lights turning on when I bring the fob up to the door.

Last night I was out cruising with some friends and when I went to turn the car on with the push to start button, it wasn't picking up the FOB and kept flashing the key logo on the dash, eventually it picked the FOB up. The door panel controls in the car to lock both doors don't work either.

I've looked at the door lock/unlock fuse in the engine fuse box and it isn't blown, I've replaced the battery in the key fob, and I've tested the battery with a reading of 12.67V after letting it sit overnight. I'm thinking it could potentially be an issue with the key FOB? Although I'm unable to test with the spare as the seller had it at their old address as they moved recently and he is sending it in the mail, but it wouldn't explain why the door panel lock/unlock buttons don't work?

Any ideas would be super appreciated as I'm abit out of my comfort zone with the new car and I'm apprehensive at the moment on doing anything wrong
