“Key Battery Low - Replace Battery” Warning

[Hylus]

Anyone else get an error about the battery in their keys (both keys) being low and needing replacing? I changed the batteries in the keys and it’s still appearing on-screen. Not a major issue, just weird that it started appearing all of a sudden and hasn’t disappeared with new batteries 🤔

My oct 2020 refused to open this morning using my key fob. I tried with the spare and it worked fine.

Tried to start it with my key, screen said to put the key in the cup holder region, and it started.

I swapped out the battery and all works fine.

Car driven daily since 30th October.
Fyi the 3v battery I removed had a voltage of 2.79v, so a little down but not massively so.

No warnings leading up to this morning.

Also worth a note, my BMW is a little over 4 yrs old and driven daily. Still on the same keyfob battery. The Bm has keyless entry, my new Golf 1.5 eTSI doesn't.

The cr2032 cell batteries are from Amazon. I bought 8 duracell for ~£6.50

There are numerous how to videos on yt for fitting instructions. Very straight forward.
