Greetings,
I possess two keys, one conventional and one keyless entry.

The keyless entry functions properly, facilitating opening, locking, all ignition stages, and engine initiation via the gearshift-mounted button.

Nevertheless, when I insert either key into the ignition, I encounter the identical issue with both. Initially, the dashboard illuminates a few indicators, with the SRS being one that I recall; switching to the second position yields no results, nor does turning to the crank position. While I can rotate through all positions, there is no dashboard activity or engine start, and no notification such as "key not detected" is displayed.

As I mentioned, this applies to both keys, although the keyless go variant functions flawlessly.

Fresh and authenticated battery in the fob, with consumer battery voltage measuring 12.5V.
