Answer to oldskewel’s message, the central locking itself is working fine. Need to check the door buttons though. And yeah, I’ve noticed that the door lock probably couldn’t take too much of a use but thankfully the key is now working so well that I rarely need to operate it manually. And when it comes to the shop I sent the keys to, they specialize in car keys so I hope they know what they are doing. Never can be sure though. They were able to check that the batterys were fine (I believe they measured them to be 3.0 V), micro switches function and they can also test if the key is sending any signal. According to them, the lack of signal was the problem with the first key but the addition of solder fixed it.
Also interesting point about the key fob. So it would work for opening and locking the doors remotely after just syncing it with the car? It would definitely be a cheaper option to test with that first.
