We've checked everything from the battery, starter, alternator, etc. The key will not unlock the car with the buttons, so I changed the battery in it, and it started working again. Then it stopped, so I unlocked the car manually, but the car has an antitheft warning light on, and the car won't start. It is a physical key, no push to start. Why would the key still not start the car?

Could it be the battery is dead again, sometimes new batteries can be old and not work correctly, also, is the security light flashing when trying to crank it over? if not the security system is not the problem. Also, when you say, "key still not start the car?" do you mean the engine cranks over and does not start and run? of does the engine not crank over (starter)

Please go over this video and get back to me.

It isn't cranking at all, we went and got the battery tested at 2 different places and both came back saying it was good. Here is a video of what it is doing.
