Well as long as we are talking about it... my fob is acting kinda funny. When I first got it everything worked 100%, but now for some reason (just a few days later) the passive works just as it should, but NEITHER of the buttons work!! Is that a battery issue maybe? I dont understand why the passive would work but not the buttons if the battery is low, unless it uses less power..

Anyone encountered this?

Jet Jock, this was my 1st post here. I can understand how there may have been others tho.
bluedevil99, good luck with yours. Could you have dropped it and the buttons become mis-aligned?

Well I actually stopped by radio shack and picked up a new battery, and the whole thing works better (buttons included) It appears that with low battery the passive works normally, but the buttons lose all their range.
