I understand you feel the FOB is working correctly but i had this same issue with my 2009. I put the FOB in the glove box FOB slot and the car started up. Did you try the FOB slot in the glove box?

Yes I am going to put a tender on another brand new battery then put it in the car and than try the fob in glove box again

Default A fix for the column lock issue

This is very strange, but if you are having issues with your column lock (I did in my 2005), go to Batteries Plus and put 2 new batteries in your FOBs.
I wasn't even getting the FOB not detected warning, but a $7.50 purchase has completely fixed the problem.
