'06 remote key stopped working/programming

Hello,

My Mini key has stopped locking/unlocking remotely. I ran around with the spare key to charge it and test it, and it also doesn't work. So I can't blame the keys.

I tried reprogramming based on the instructions given here,
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ght=key+remote

That didn't help. I never got the doors to lock/unlock while doing the programming. Yes, I know how to follow directions. That leads me to believe something is wrong in the receiver. Anyone know anything about it, or have alternative ways to program the keys?

My first gremlin...

I'm in the same boat with my '03. Any other suggestions?
