Hi, I used the fob to open the vehicle, still doesn't work. Tried locking the vehicle with the key, the opening it, still won't start the engine. Just wondering if the key needs re-programming

Hi, just bought mesel an 06 Freelander, got it home, took the spare key out of the wrapper, obviously never used, it turns the ignition lights on, but won't start the engine. Is this an easy fix, a main dealer fix, and if so how much? Thanks.
