Customer Complaint

No key fob operation, central locking or proximity smart key on both keys since detail.

Problem Summary

Will start and run using either key if fob held against key symbol on steering column. This car doesn't seem to have been drowned like your normal detail, no signs of excess water used, hardly even looks detailed, just very clean.

Obtained system operation for testing. Unsure whether both keys have failed or antenna type failure, no codes in cas or other modules, believe this will have more than one antenna so in my opinion more than one antenna failure is unlikely and cas is awake and talking.
