I've got another key, but it's just the grey one without buttons (see photo below). It unlocks doors and can start the engine.

Deprogramming feels a bit unlikely, as the remote was working fine last week and I've removed/changed the battery several times before.

Unless this is all related to some mysterious electrical problem that even affects the key!?
