reset skoda octavia key after battery change or lost sync

I need to reset skoda octavia key after a fob battery change. The car starts, but remote locking is dead, so I do not think it is the immobilizer chip.

Would you check fob battery polarity, button response, spare key, central locking fuse, door lock cylinder, synchronization procedure, fault codes and whether the immobilizer warning is present?
