It behaves normally with the key in the ignition, no problems at all. With the engine running you can press the fingerprint start button and all the memories such as steering wheel, seat position etc. are all set, everything seems to work except reading the key.

There is no keyless entry unlock, locking is not possible and it does not work from any door or the boot.

I've spent sometime playing with this today, and I have hit a brick wall as I can find nothing wrong.

The car works perfectly fine with the key in the barrel, the start button is disabled when the key is inserted in the barrel.

Parking sensor has decided to start working again now the weather is warming up.

I was researching parking sensor issues and came across a YouTube video where someone recommended spraying WD40 into the parking sensors to displace any water in there. It may be worth a shot on yours if they're intermittent.

The last thing you want is for the fault to reappear when showing a potential buyer around your car.
