XF key fob issue

[Kevf6]

Hi chaps

 

i wonder if anyone can help at all with an issue I’m having with my spare key fob.

 

it’s an 08 and the problem is that it seems that the car isn’t receiving the signal from my fob. If I put it into the slot it’s fine but just not the remote aspect. I have checked the battery, made sure that it’s the right way round, changed it with a new one and it’s the same. I have checked all the contacts and it’s all good (including the little contact that can bend over and even lose it’s solder to hold it in place - so it’s all good. I even sent it off the autotronics.co.uk and they have confirmed that it’s working perfectly.

 

so this is where I am - very confused! Does the fob need registering? But then the car does recognise it in the slot, so maybe not?

 

I appreciate any help.

 

Many thanks
