Ok, start with the obvious... have you checked the fuses? The 12.3 volts is too low as it needs to be 12.5 or above, static charge. Do you hear the solenoid at all? If not, do you hear the TDR relay in the passenger footwell? If not, is the security light on the dash, flashing? Is it a manual transmission and if so, have you checked the clutch switch? Lastly, this might be a bad ignition switch. If that security light is flashing, clean the pellet on the key and see if you get something.
