The problem: When I leave the car for 4 or 5 days with the alarm set.....then when I try to open it the key button won't unlock the car / dis-arm the alarm. I can then open it manually, setting the alarm off....until I turn the ignition on. At that point all returns to normal.....the key controls/alarm then work fine. You might think it's the key battery, but that is fairly new, and the red LED on the key flashes hot/fast with the key alarm button pussed indicating its transmitting.

Any suggestions please ?? Thanks in advance for your help. Mike

 

the key automatically deactivates the remote portion after 7 days (I believe it is seven).
this requires manually putting key into door slot to open.

I think the alarm system deactivates the Key FOB after 5 days of no use. To reset the remote, unlock the door manually then hit the remote button and voila you are back to normal.

 

normal operation the vehcile goes into sleep mode and requires the key put into the door to wake it up
