Key Fob problem :(

Hi I wanted to ask if anyone could help me out with this my keyfob can start my car perfectly fine but it wont lock/unlock my car is there anyway i can fix it without getting a whole new key fob? My current one doesnt have comfort access so I dont have the option of simply buying a new battery for it andy help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe I am misunderstanding your situation (your post is confusing as it has almost no punctuation!), but it really sounds like you do just need a new battery.

Sorry I was in a rush earlier lol, but like I said I can't replace the battery since my fob doesn't have comfort access. So there is no possibility to even remove or install a new battery.

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't it a remote control fob ( yes I realize it's not comfort access but don't all remotes have replaceable batteries?) Comfort access is when you don't have to press the actual button but I assume you still have a button to press! (I had a 330 before without comfort access and I just had to replace the battery when it stopped working) Someone please school me if I'm wrong!

No, unfortunately not. Here's a picture of the back of the key fob most have a horizontal line going through the middle that you can remove. My SA said that key fobs without comfort access don't have the option to replace the battery.
