Default No key FOB BS

Lately,I have been getting a message on the Dash saying "no key fob",I checked the battery in BOTH FOBS and they are good at 2.85 volts,the car will not start at this point but if I push the lock or unlock buttons on the fob a few times the messages disappeares and the car starts.
Any ideas

As cheap as fob batteries are, I'd replace them.

Replace batteries $3.
Check for electrical interference. Proximity of a cell phone? Charger plugged into the lighter socket?

Lots have reported (including me) that having a cell phone in the same pocket as the fob causes recognition issues.
