My key fob and Tpm stopped working 2015 228i

Not sure what to check it just stopped working battery is at a fine voltage no dtcs
The car starts after the 40th try while holding the key to spot the under steering wheel. Yes I replaced the battery on the key fob . Let me know if you have any idea or what fuse to check

What brand is the fob battery? There have been reports of counterfeit batteries that don't work.

I've had brand new batteries that were bad, especially if they are off Amazon/ebay etc. Lots of fakes out there.

Does the car open for fob fine, but won’t start? Or is there a problem across all functions with tue car not recognizing the fob?

See my post in "what did you do to your 2 series today".

I had a FOB fail and TPMS at the same time. The issue was mouse chew in the right rear wheel well. They destroyed a power harness to the NVLD system which shares receivers for both the FOB and TPMS systems. It also blew the fuse but I don't know which one other than it was an orange one. Worth a look.
