Key not in range
 

hey guys, my S.O. has a 2014 beetle. Cant start the car it says "key not in range". we have replaced the battery and tried to hold the fob against the push button as we tired to start it with no luck. really cant afford to take it to the dealer right now.
any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The aerial for the key fob is on top on the dash.

You need to get your motor scanned (preferably with VAG-COM\VCDS) for any error codes logged in the ecu and post them, that will save a lot of guessing and check systems out.
