Default key fob

Sometimes I get a signal on the IP that my key fob is not recognized.on my 2010 Grand Sport. Seems like if I squeeze the fob, it will then work. Also, the key fob is cracked from replacing the battery. Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you have the second fob, use that one. You can get another one from a forum vendor and reprogram or the dealer and have the dealer reprogram

You can try to find one in the WTB section and replace the circuit board with yours and not have to reprogram.

Thanks for the quick repiles. I should have mentioned that the battery is new on the fob I'm having random troubles with. The scond fob doesn't seem to be recognized at all.
Do you have a recommendation for a new fob case? Both of mine are cracked in the same area.

After reading about fob batteries, I changed the battery on the "unrecognized" fob. Now it works. Still have to replace the case on the other one to keep it held together tightly. Thanks guys for your suggestions and YouTube
