Key troubles after dead battery

[MDMetal]

My Z isn't my daily and it's sat around a lot during lockdown. The battery died by I managed to recharge it and bring it back to life, the car works fine the keys not so much!

 

So the remotes on both keyfobs don't work (including with a new battery) so you have to manually unlock the car. My regular fob will disable the alarm but the 2nd fob won't even do that.

 

I've tried the key registration procedure (6 turns of the ignition then hold lock and tap unlock 3 times) and it seems to work in that I get the double hazard flash after the 6 turns, then a double flash after switching to the on position.

 

I don't believe I get a single flash at the end of holding the unlock key though and it certain doesn't fix the issue.

 

Any thoughts? This seems slightly different to other posts about new keys or just asking what the procedure is.

Really? Without the car? Or was this somewhere near a carpark?

I had to take the zed, some of branches specialise with key fobs so if you phone a local timpsons they will advise you on the one to go to😁
