FOB buttons don't work.

Hello,
Going crazy..
Suddenly this morning my buttons on my key fob and my display key doesn't work.
Can't lock/unlock/open trunk etc.
The keyless parking thingy works on the display key.

I can still use the car because the wireless comfort access /start works fine..

Been looking for fuses, but can't find F4, F6, F13.. Can't find the "BDC" where they are supposed to be..
I guess it should be the door with a key on it, right?

Hey
Yes
And my display key which I use every time which is fully charged does not work either.
Only the buttons fail. Comfort access/start works fine, for trunk too

Apologies I missed the part about the fancy key with display and charging capability.

sounds like the problem isn't in the fob but in the system that the fob interacts with. Time for a dealership visit.
