I had the message pop up yesterday saying battery was low, so swapped to the spare until I had chance to change the battery, weirdly that key fob, which has never been used said the same. Changed both batteries earlier, still saying the battery is low, ideas anyone?

I have noticed my car throws that warning when there are two different fobs in the car at the same time; take one away, and the warning goes away.

If you have a RFID bag, try putting the one fob in there - it might be your spare key location is close enough that the car is detecting it - atmospherics can change how far an RF signal can travel.
The spare is in a faraday box in the house so it can’t be that, hoping it corrects itself

Was out vacuuming the car last weekend, had a message pop up on the screen saying press start stop button with key, showing a picture in drivers display of key fob on top of stop start button, did as asked and all messages stopped! Magic 👍🏻
