Default Remote issue

I got myself a selvage C7 which is now up and running but i have a strange remote issue. When i get to the car in the morning remote doesn't work. So, I pop the lift gate and manually open the door. Of course, alarm goes on and the message center shows "attempt break in" message. After I insert the remote into the steering column I’m able to fire up the engine but i noticed radio resets as if there was no power before. if I turn the engine off and get out of the car I can lock and unlock the door with the remote with no problem. Any suggestions?

99% of the time, C7 "fob issues" are the result of a dead fob battery or a weak car battery, including the times when "the guy at the auto parts store checked it and said the battery was good, so it can't be that"
