Hi my BMW 318i, has a major immobiliser problem?

The dash mounted red light decoder box flashes on and off as it should, when I touch the decoder with the key ring pad I hear a small bleep as it should and the red light goes out as it should, but the car engine won't start or tick over...completely dead.
The battery is not flat...any advice.


Thanks in advance.
