Did you try putting the key in the lower slot under the dash?

Have you tried an ECU reset? Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and wait half-an-hour. Reconnect and see if the car will recognize the fob.

There have been a couple of threads over the years where the car had to be taken to a dealer so they could force a relearn.
