Oem factory supplied key fob program

G30 KEY fob that came with the purchase will not operate. The battery has just been changed, the mechanical key unlocks the door, and holding it to the steering column starts the car. But the lock, unlock, boot, and panic do not. Any ideas on how to reprogram or otherwise program the fob?

Change the battery again for a good quality brand.
I've had the same after replacing my keyfob battery with a bad one, exactly same behavior. Sometimes new batteries are DOA or just not good enough (and its most probably the cheapest suggestion).

The key fob battery can be easily replaced by sliding the mechanical key out and lifting the rear of the key plastic (from the inside).
Although the key is a bit older, the design is the same for this video with instructions: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=owxCylHAJuo
