I had the same issue and it was the battery. Tried a different brand and it worked fine

Batteries just turned up, Energizer Lithium 2025, put one in worked straight away, no re-pairing required despite being powerless for over 24hrs!

Odd that the battery I had in the drawer, still sealed etc wasn't up to it, wasn't even out of date or anything but clearly was dead. That was an Energizer (non lithium) one too!!

Least they'll be a nice post here for people to search in the future for assistance, thanks to all that replied :-)

I found the hyundai ones to be reliable - eventually.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.
