Default Key Problems

I've tried the search facility and found nothing so apologies if this has already been answered.

Went to open my car this morning and neither the main or spare key are working.
I can open the car with the app and start it with the key in the cup holder compartment.

But when I move the key it says it cannot to found.

Is there a solution or fix that anyone knows of?
Thank you in advance

Where you parked in your usual overnight parking spot or at a different location, there are a few area's were I have to park that have dead zones (one is near a BT open reach hut and one near a substation, they must interfere with the signal).
My Volvo is ok as I have keyless entry but if I park my landrover there the key fob will not work, and loads of other people have the same problem in those area's, parking a few meters away and its ok, I have learnt that pressing the key fob button over and very close to the bonnet near the drivers side windscreen unlocks the car. (Above steering column) but anywhere else it will not work.

Yes, parked in the same place it has been most nights since I got it.
I'll drive it to the dealer tomorrow and leave it with them

Update on this - car has been with the dealer since Monday.
It seems water has got in around the shark fin and shorted out one of the receivers.
The garage ordered in the part but received the wrong item.
Should be fixed for the middle of next week

One thing I would say is that the garage have been a bit of a disaster - this was meant to take two days, I'm now looking at at least ten days before the car will be ready.
In the meantime they've lent me a V40 R design.
Nice looking car but an absolute spine buster
