It will work out, just go out there and look at it and then wait for that big smile to work its way on your face, if that does not work then drive it.

Mellow - happy place....

Like everyone else said, it get's better. You can get it worked out, just slow your row. As far as the remote, there are a load of posts here on remotes. It could be fixable, or it could be you need to buy a new one. Do some searches on past remote FOB posts.
