Glad to hear that the fob is on order. Also, if being locked in the car is the most frustrating part, it is easy to fix that. Go into the DIC programming options and disable the autolock feature. You can then just lock the car when you want to by pushing the lock button on the door or the lock button on the fob. Simple.

The autolock was probably set by the previous owner as this is not the default from the factory.

Use a good CD/DVD cleaning disc. Pick one up at Best Buy for about $10.00 or your local computer store. Or order from Newegg. Intermittent disc read is usually a dirty lens in the unit. Don't order a new DVD until you have done this, becuase a new DVD is $180.00. However, if it's more than 5 years old, clean the lens AND get a new disc. They do go out of date over 5 years, although they will still get you most places.

I get the same message if my keys are in the same pocket as my iPhone. Separate the two and no issues for me.

I'm guessing you've tried this by now....
