Why does my Skoda Octavia not recognize the key?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

When a key is not recognized it is almost certainly a dead battery. If the battery has been changed and the car does not recognize the remote control, check that the polarity of the battery itself has not been inadvertently reversed when putting it back in its place.
