Vauxhall Astra fob doesnt work.

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: TT
Model Year: 2008
Changed the battery and now the car doesn't recognise the key, so cant start the car. Its a push button start/stop.

Does a 2008 have a push button start/stop ? or has it been added ?

No, it hasn't been added.

You have to try another key , should still be able to start car as it's the chip inside it recognises .

I have 2 fobs and changed batteries in both and neither of them work now.

Can only find this year of fuse box for your car and would suggest you check all and any relevant fuses linked to non start .
