I have 2 key fobs that came with the car, but none of the fobs work. They don't even push down, they're solid??

I can't remember what the score is with getting new fobs and syncing with the car.

I looked for old posts on this, but either blind, stupid or both couldn't see any 

Suggestions please?

TIA

I had something similar a while back mate and ending up sending the fobs off to Martin Imber for repair and upgrade.

When they came back I just put them into the ignition with dash lights on for a few mins and then took them out and they then started working etc....... I think that's what I did anyway?

To sync with vehicle switch ignition on and press lock or unlock button,this only works with fobs that have previously been used with the vehicle

I'm sure Martin will sort your fobs mate and replace for better cases / components   

I may be wrong with how I sync'd them back to the car but I'm sure somebody will advise soon

New battery in fob ?

Its more a case of there is no give under the buttons. They are rock solid.

Hence me trying to work out what would happen if I get new fobs and getting them to work with the car after

New fobs would mean the use of Tech II to code them to your car, and a Car Pass for the code if you don't already have one

egay replacement fob cases are universally shite I'm afraid, the rubber is far too stiff.  I suspect that is what has happened to yours

I recommend a replacement GM fob every time if you don't catch the switches in time before they cause the rubber to fail.
