Have you tried using the supplied key tucked inside the FOB through the trunk key hole and emergency door opening pull lanyard?

If you can get inside the back end of the car, that lanyard is on the top of the driver's side wheel covering. If you can't find it, work your way up to the space between the driver's door and the driver's seat.. There will be a door release handle just in front of the driver's seat next to the door. Pull it.

That isn't going to do a lot of good if he can't get into the car.

How's your car's battery? That might need to be replaced. I just replaced mine this weekend. My car wouldn't recognize either of my FOBs even though the charger said the car's battery was fully charged. The battery had been going out for awhile so I knew it was time for a new one. I put the new one in and the car started right up.
