No regular schedule. I just try to remember to use it occasionally on a long run. |

It's interesting that some have polled more than 6 months, I just wonder as to the maximum that a fob will stay in a usable state before refusing a charge. |

Manual says minimum of 4 hours every 6 months, I swap every month, I have a keyring on the one I'm not using, 1st day of the month I swap it over, don't have to keep track of anything that way. |

Mrs D uses her one every day, I use my one probably two or 3 times a week.

It's highlighted the fact that many of you share the car |

Like Pinky, I only change Fobs when I remember.

Are you definately sure on that - we set our seat positions before putting the fob in? So do I need to set our memory seat positions with each fob? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I voted for once a week, but it's actually much more regular than that.

One of mine was broken when I got it, someone having forced out the emergency key and broken the retaining tab. Only noticed when the main part of the fob dropped off the ring - lucky I noticed. So now that one is held together with a bit of bright red tape, which means I remember to use it occasionally.
