2008 Mercdedes Benz R350
(W251) R350 Does not start

Hello everybody
I drove my 2008 R350 until the day before yesterday without any problems.
Yesterday morning when I wanted to start it, the engine was "mute".
The dashboard tells me a fault in the SRS.
I do not know if that will be the reason why the car does not want to start.
I have checked the SRS connections under the two front seats and it seems that everything is fine.
I thought it could be the battery but I just installed a new one and nothing has changed, the problem remains the same.
I was able to confirm that the car starter works, it is not faulty, but something is blocking it .
I can't move the car, not even 5 feet, there's no way to put the shifting in neutral.
I have a code reader for M Benz but since the car does not start, it can hardly read anything, there is no communication between the modules.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Any help please.
Thank you very much in advance.

Very peculiar situation.
I have never heard of it.
Is your key fob working properly?
