skoda key fob not working after battery change: sync or bad contact?

We have a skoda key fob not working after battery change. The car still starts, but the remote buttons are dead, so I am trying to separate a remote problem from an immobilizer problem.

Related discussion area: skoda key fob not working after battery change. I want a normal owner-level thread before buying parts or trusting random advice.

Help thread: Malfunction of the smart entry and starting system for RAV4

I am opening this because the search results for Malfunction of the smart entry and starting system for RAV4 are a mess: three short answers, two miracle products, and one guy saying 'just sell it'. The annoying part is that key issues can look electronic, mechanical, or just random. I would like to separate battery, antenna/receiver, synchronization, and immobilizer logic.

skoda key not working after battery change and what to check first

I know this forum is mostly bikes, but the diagnostic logic is the same. We had a skoda key not working after battery change situation: new coin cell, remote still dead, car starts with the blade but buttons do nothing.

I found this related page while comparing notes: skoda key not working after battery change. I wanted a practical thread before guessing.
