Have you replaced the battery? It's done by pressing the somewhat hidden button then carefully separating the halves. If the battery is OK, try putting the key in the door and cycling the locks or starting the car, see if that restores the function.

I assume you mean the buttons on the keys don't remotely operate the locks but it still works if you put he key in the keyhole.

If EE3racing's suggestion doesn't work, you may want to try going to a dealer and see if it's programmed correctly. I know that it's possible to have it set where the trunk releases don't work but the ingnition still does. Perhaps the same thing can be done with the doors - but there still has to be some minimal programming for the car to be able to start.
