I received a notification in the cockpit to say my car key battery needed changing which I've done.

1. How do I get rid of the notification as it still keeps coming up when I turn the ignition?
2. Since I changed the battery the key no longer locks/unlocks the door so I read the booklet which instructed how to resynchronise the car key but that hasn't worked. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
 
On which chassis.

Usually it resyncs with ignition on off, try starting the car & pressing a lock button on the key.
 
I had something similar on my old a6 and it was the new battery.
First new battery was cheapest battery I could find and message stayed on dash and wasn’t locking/unlocking then tried a second as it was a twin pack still the same. Got another battery this time a Duracell and everything worked fine.
I later put both batteries on a multimeter and Duracell was higher voltage than the cheap brand.
