Default Remotes have stopped working.

Neither of my remotes will lock/unlock the doors.The one one I normally use worked fine yesterday.The centre console button will operate the central locking. I have changed the battery in one handset but made no difference. Any ideas please?

The last time this happened to mine, I had to rewrite the zcs coding.
It also reversed the drivers and passenger window switch?!?

I dont know if it is similar, but this is happening in some areas of belfast at the minute (including me). We believe it may be related to 5g testing nearby.

Try the remotes at a different location, mine work done from everywhere else except where I park my car at work.

Well blow me I've just tried it in three different locations between a quarter and a half mile away from home and both handsets worked every time in each. I returned home,put it on the drive and nothing from either handset. I've just tried the handset for the 45 which is on the drive and that works. I'm flabbergasted.will see if the 75 handsets start to work again while on the drive.

Google harmonic interference on car fobs as mentioned above by Jamie W.

"While Wi-Fi routers typically operate in the 2.4GHz radio band, as opposed to the 315MHz and 433.92MHz bands that car remotes operate in, they can still generate harmonic interference and even unintentional interference due to poor shielding or wiring. "
