Default No FOB Detected after New battery installed

Recently I got the "No FOB Detected" when I tried to start my car. I replaced the batter in the FOB and it stopped it. A week later, same thing, replaced the battery and it stopped.
this morning I couldn't get my car to start, guess what battery was dead as a hammer! I replaced the car battery and everything is fine. I received another No FOB dectected right after I started my car. If this continues how do I reprogram my FOB.

You should not have to reprogram a fob after either a fob battery change or a car battery change.

As far as the fob battery is concerned, just check to be sure the installation has the battery snug in the holder, + side down, with no rough surface on one side of the battery. Also make sure you don't have any electronic objects in the car near the fob when you're using it.

At some point when you're getting the "no fob detected", try putting the fob in the slot in the glove box with the buttons pointed toward the passenger side of the car. That should work, even if the battery in the fob is dead.

A remote possibility is that one or more of the fob-detecting antennas in the car has gone bad.

I've been getting that every so often ever since I got the '13 GS last April.I just shake the fob by the starter button.

I found that after replacing the FOB battery a few times that the locking plastic clasps of the FOB broke on mine. The FOB case itself was not closing fully. I wrapped some black electrical tape around the top of the FOB. This has helped me. It took me a little time before I noticed it.
