The keyfob has a rechargable battery in it. It gets recharged when it is in the docking cradle. Perhaps the keys haven't been used enough to get a good enough charge, either way, I would have a chat with the dealer to see if they can test/replace the batteries. ______________________

Thanks mate, but I fail to see why. The fobs must be fully charged when the car is (eventually) handed over to you, the purchaser. On the 2nd time home, the car had done approx 4300 miles, with my keyfob being used most of that time, and the reserve one just a couple of times, to charge it up, as you rightly say. There was no problem with opening the doors on a shopping trip with my wife, who had the lesser charged keyfob. |

The key fobs stay charged for ages, the old FL2 we had was driven very rarely by the wife with her key fob but that worked after weeks and weeks, possibly months?? |

Unlike some around here (carfraz?) I'm still on my first FL2, I haven't broken the first one yet ....... so my experience is 9 months & 18k miles ...

Another possibility is that of interference. Maybe due to Tetra radio systems (which use an adjacent frequency band), or other high power transmitters (airport radar etc). This had been a problem with other vehicle types. A possible solution to this problem is to use the fob as close to the receiver in the car as possible; I dont know where the receiver antenna acually is within the car - maybe it is close to the docking slot.
