Could it be anything to do with the immobiliser chip in your key fob mate?

if you have tried both keys and getting the same messege proberbly not the key chip. theres a pick up which goes around the ignition, which in turn picks the transponder chip up in the key when inserted in the ignition, maybee check that for a loose connection, other than that it will have to go on a diagnostic computer to find the fault m8
