[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 311922, member: 3592"] This is the new age of low power RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) keys, starting in lux cars. Firstly, your key fob is trickle-charged when it's in the slot, unless you have the Comfort Access option (which we don't) where the key remains in your pocket - then you have to change the battery occasionally. Secondly, BMW leads in this field, with driver personal preferences and the car's VIN, service and other data recorded in the key fob each time you drive with it in the slot. The dealers download service data from your fob! Thirdly, you must rotate using your 2 key fobs occasionally (at least once in 6 months, better more often) to keep them charged and the data current. I rotate my keys each week. Fourthly, think of your key fobs as a sophisticated identification device (like you would your chip-passport, ATM cards, etc) as well as a memory device holding important information. Don't chuck them around like you would your previous low tech car keys and keep them away from strong electromagnetic fields. We live in an age when everything of ours is being ID-ed remotely without touching terminals, regardless of the radio frequency band used - microwave, infra-red, bluetooth, etc. Think of your home remotes, hand-phones, credit cards, Touch & Go. Big Brother is watching and tracking you! :D Rachel, try the other key fob and if both give the same result, tell the doctor when you go to the hospital this Friday. Your fobs may have become unsync-ed with your car or the batteries may be low or something. Easily fixed. Time bomb sound, I got no comment. Did you offend anyone recently? :D [/QUOTE]
