As I first read your post I thought your battery was dead in the fob. But then I saw that you said fobS. As in both. So if both just all of the sudden quit working then you probably need the dealer to reset. I dont know, could be as easy as just resetting something... sorry, not much help.
Are you having to start the car with the emergency key too?

For an '07 model, it's about that time.
I changed mine...CR2032 batteries, mine were getting weaker.
The remote is always transmitting a low power signal for the keyless system sensors.
Keep them away from cellular phones too. On the Toyota system, remotes were getting damaged when next to a cell phone in someone's pocket when ringing.
Hope you don't need to see the dealer.

Yup, replaced the battery to double check.
I'm in Canada and own a US model vehicle. Went to the local dealer, (no warrenty coverage here for me) they couldn't hook up the the car, the computer is aparently not letting them (cost me $50) aparently my fobs are ok, but something in the car isn't.
I guess I have to take a trip down over the border and have it serviced......at a US dealer (what a bunch of BS).

I had some spare time and looked this up in the Shop manuel, they have a bunch of steps that need to be checked but it's likely that if both keys don't work at all, they'll need to replace theETACS-ECU. I didn't see anything about reseting.

THANKS, got an appointment booked for this weekend....
they said (at the canadian dealer) that they have no communications with the car.....ie. they cannot diagnose the problem, therefore they would have to replace the ECU? at a cost of about a $1000. and go from there.
I still don't understand the warranty cross border issuses but at least I don't live too far from the border!

Ok, Problem Solved.
Took it over the border to the US. Waited half and hour. Got my FAST key thing working again. They had replaced 'some fuse' and reprogrammed the KEY. No problems whatsoever.
So, all pissed off at the Canadian Dealership for not fixing my problem in the first place, I took a trip to see them. After about 10 minutes of F*$______ and so on. Got my money back.
