Problems with wireless remote entry...
I've had the box for a month almost and just today the remotes (both of them) stopped working from a distance. In order to make them work at all, you have to go reallllllly close to the window (touching it) and press the button like 5 times before it decides to lock.
I tried both remotes and it's the same problem.
I took out the battery and put it back in thinking it'd help it...still nothing.
Anyone have this problem? What could it be?
Tammie

Nope...none of that. I mean, there are power lines outside of my apartment but those are everywhere.
I bought the car FAR away...could I take it to any dealer or just the one where I bought it?

I've noticed that the design of the keyfob makes it very easy to push the buttons constantly. In fact, I routinely unlock / lock my car by accident while putting my keys in my pants. I've walked up to my xB and it's been unlocked, but I *KNOW* I locked it previously.
I suppose pushing the buttons a lot will run the battery down...

yeah, i was at my friend house the other day and accidently hit my panic button, I was really far away and it went off.
as for the HV power lines, you can take a flourescent tube light and stick one end in the ground while standing under a line (the big ones) and the light you see should give you an idea of the kind of fields that are around those things.
