Is that a question or an observation?
We might even have to guess what sort of key fob it is. My mind reading skills aren't on form tonight.

first put the key in the ignition and turn one click ad hold both the lock and unlock button for about 10 seconds,then try to see if it works,if not you might need a new battery

The thing about rocket science is its actually quite simple. Rocket engineering, now thats trickier.

A GTI 180 should give plenty of warning messages on the MFD if the keyfob battery voltage is low.
