Ah, gotcha. Mine is really picky.. almost always works in right pocket, but sometimes doesn't in left pocket. Guess that isn't the issue, though.

Maybe fresh charge on battery will help tonight. Don't look forward to dealers input

Have you unhooked the batter for about 5 minutes and then hook it back up again I think I have read that will help sometimes. Cant hurt...LOL

Any sources of radio interference nearby? (Cell phones, cell phone charger, car alarms, etc). Clear the AO of anything electronic, and retry? Try making sure the fob to be programmed is the ONLY fob within 30 feet (if you are doing the long programming process)

I'd guess either radio interference or a bad fob antenna. No other reason I can think of that would break the connection to the fob mid-operation.

Tried that. Had battery tender on just battery for several days. Last night hooked tender up to battery while leads were connected to maybe keep power to computer.
Going outside now. Will see what happens

If it doesn't work go to this thread and see if CClive can help you out he seems to be the pro when it comes to the FOB....

I feel your pain. I had the low beam recall done and asked Porter to program a miscreant FOB. $58 later got the SOB FOB (2) working.
