Default Lesson for the day: remote can be deprogrammed by continually try to see how

far away the doors can be locked or opened. I din't know that. I have a habit of onlocking the doors from about 100 ft as I leave my office. Book says that can cause the remote to quit. It was quick to reset at least.

Default Put the key in your mouth and press unlock next time.

Supposedly your head acts like a capacitor and extends the range øf the remote's antenna.

Let us know how that works for you.

Default Good to know. I like that feature, as it means someone can't find a key fob and just

walk around a parking lot repeatedly pressing the buttons, trying to find the car to which the key belongs.

Every now and then when I hit the button another nearby car will flash.
