Key Fob Sometimes Not Recognized
I noticed a few weeks ago that at points my truck does not wake up (welcome lighting etc) when I approach. Settings unchanged. The remote will on rare occasions not open the doors or allow remote start either. I changed the fob battery last week just in case but today had the same issues. I got in once it was finally recognized but as I drove off the truck dash said no key fob detected. I acknowledged the warning and never saw it again. Now it seems fine again. Sound familiar to anyone?

That was my first attempt to fix but the battery is just a week old and I tested the one I took out and it was still showing a full 3v.
Not sure what's up with it. I did notice it happened twice at one location (but this isn't the only location). Wondering if they might be impacted by other electronics in the area.

I haven't actually. It's been intermittent and I have not had the 2nd fob around when it's happened. I will throw the 2nd one in my pocket though for the next while just in case. It's has been set with my wife's settings so I don't normally use the 2nd one. Will update.

I have this issue only at, but EVERYTIME i go to a Holiday gas station. No idea if its some sort of interference, maybe from their car wash that has the unlimited washes, no idea.

Mine has done this where I park at work every day since I bought it 4 months ago. It also says key not detected on the dash so I have to put the fob in the port under the cup holder to start the engine. There isn't anything obvious causing interference, but I've never had it happen anywhere else. I've tried both fobs with the same results.

Interesting. I'm going to pay particular attention to where this happens for the next while.
