I'd second what magnet has suggested, and report back as part of key programming can be done with VCDS.

Hi Roy most informative video, I particularly liked the soldering/saddering part where his industrial size soldering gun was flying about and melting bits of the shielding on other wires and the total omission of how he found which wire was what I heard something about a multimeter at one point. Anyway I digress the reason I said to save the long coding was that it gives you a reference point if you change the units and they don't want to play, chances are all will be fine as long as you know if your system is UDS/Non UDS as the procedures for cycling the calipers are different for both also make sure you have a battery charger or donor battery connected to the jump posts as sudden voltage drop will kill your hand brake control module, also he did not mention he had left the battery connected while mucking about with wires its a dodgy hobby.

Hello Nev, Thanks for joining the forum and posting your query. No doubt you have tried the procedures listed on on-line searches. If not, they are worth a try, but I’ve failed with all of them. You mention you have recently bought the car - from a main dealer? - other retailer? If so, I would be first seeking assistance there, since it’s reasonable to expect that both fobs should be working, and if not, rectified at their expense. Car is 2019 - still just under warranty? Might be worth a try if so. All else fails, then it sounds like you will need the assistance of an independent to re-programme the fob. Perhaps you could let us know how you get on Nev. Kind regards, Gareth.
