Cycle the selector switch several times, sometimes they "stick".

I also forget, but check the DIC to see if there is a "disable" for passive there?

did you turn it on in dic? ithink that is an option you select on the car side as well as the fob. once you turn it on, however, i'll bet you turn it off. it is really annoying to have the car lock and unlock every time you walk near it in the garage!

I leave mine off on the remote and turn it on when i'm out if I can remember. It seems like a cool idea but is really just a big PIA.
