Do you have other keys for your RX? Try to use them one at a time. The flat metal key does not have the magnetic slug.

Also do you have any magnetic source (other smart key) near the ignition key slot that could be interfering with the magnetic field of the RX key. Try removing all other keys from the key ring.
