FOB's not detected

[sett2vett]

I have a 2006 coupe. Neither FOB keypad will allow the car to start; DIC shows NO FOB DETECTED. It will start if the keypad is inserted into the glove box recepticle. Good car battery/good ACC. Consulted the service manual and performed the Lock door/passive entry test and could not open either door. Keypads act like they're dead. I have never changed the batteries in the keypads. It would probably be a good idea to do so but the service manual states to then reprogram the FOB's, of which there are four different methods!!! The service manual has many other troubleshooting procedures, but being that it's 8 degrees here in Michigan today I did only one of the simpler tests. Any comments/suggestions? Thanks.

Didn't know that there are batteries in the pad ,I have had to change the FOB batteries in my 08 .Interesting

I simply changed the batteries in the keypads. There was no need to "reprogram" the keypads as the service manual directed.
