Default Key fob not working after changing battery. Volvo c30

The battery in my key fobs have died and i replaced the batteries and now they are not working. I have tried 3 different batteries but the remote locks lights or panic alarm do not work from the key fob. The car still starts and runs from both keys, but the remotes do not. Please help! Do i need to get them reprogramed or is there something i am missing?
I have a 2008 volvo c30.

Default Key fob also not working after replacing battery....what was your issue?

Hi, I hope this message finds you and your Volvo well.

I’m having the same issue with my 2008 C30. What was ultimately your issue? How was it fixed and how much did it cost you?
Have you had any similar issues since?

Did you by chance fix it by disconnecting your car battery and reconnecting it after a few minutes?

thank you for your time getting back to me. I greatly appreciate any insight you can provide.

Default Reprogram the Key Fob

When you replace the battery, you must then reprogram the fob to your car. Kinda like a garage door opener. They aren't all the same, but it is something like; from inside the car with all the doors and trunk closed. Put the key in the ignition and click to almost on (like the lights click) but go between the first and second clicks 10 times until the little light flashes. Then start the car. That did it on mine. I read several other comments with other sequences, but this was the one that worked on mine.
