I have the dealer installed OEM alarm, that has the regular keyless entry remote. Car is barely a few months old.

Was sitting in the car about 40 minutes on a phone conversation, car turned off, key in ignition.

GOt out, press the lock button nothing happens. Trunk button, nothing. Unlock nothing.

Had to use the key to lock the door, which honked the horn and I guess activated the alarm.

What am I missing here?

Car has an appointment at dealer tomorrow for a squeeky roof and new OEM front bumper lip spoiler installed.

Do I need the dealers help on the remote too?

 

You could have this problem. MY06 had it. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=306946

 

same thing kind of happens with both of remotes. sometimes it'll take awhile to lock/unlock my car. ill just keep pressing the button and i just replaced the batteries on the remotes.

 

Yup that is waht i have.

So replacing ignition is the solution?

 

wow..talk about a bad day.

So after the remote wasn't working, I locked it with the key, which triggered my alarm.

LO AND BEHOLD..after work, remote still not working. So had to use key to unclock.

HORNS ON..ALL LIGHTS TRIGGERED...IN THE UNDERGROUND PARKING LOT..so embarrasing..people thinking I broke into my own car.

Sigh..get in...car doesn't start..alarm blaring....

Get out..lock the door, nothing happens...still alarm blaring..

after 15 mintues of this...I start pressing all buttons and suddenly the trunk popped...meaning the car remote was working.

And then the car started..

WOAH..what an ordeal

 

check the connections to the alarm under your seat...
mine got loose and the remote would not work after changing batteries, etc.
as soon as i got the connections replugged, all was well-

 

Will have dealer look at it anyways tomorrow morning, since car is going in for bumper lip addition.

THis was a dealer added OEM alarm, I hope this dealer doesn't say anyting,a nd fixes it.

 

Does the light on the remote light up? If not, it's a battery connection problem inside of the remote. Been there, done that (after dropping the remote)

Otherwise, the problem is elsewhere...

 

Light works..remote doesn.t

 

did they fix it?
what was the conclusion?
