If you have the second keyfob in hand, can you not use the key to unlock the door?
 
I think I've heard this before in a BlondeStar commercial.

Key/starting problem by nmk

I open the door. Sit in the drivers seat with the key in my pocket.
Try to start by turning the ignition knob. "Key" light flashes on the dashboard. Ignition knob will not turn. Cannot turn wheel, or use the shift lever.
 
Take out key, press "unlock" icon, turn on ignition knob, car starts.
 
Any clue as to why this occurred? I think that this has happened before, but was too busy to notice/remember.
Has this happened to anyone else?

make sure you don't have a cell phone or loose pocket change in direct contact with the advance key. Either item can interfere with the signal.

If it was in your back pocket in your wallet; you may have been sitting with a button or two pushed and that would cancel the signal...
 
I've learned not to leave my wallet in the back pocket because of this same thing... I now leave it on the front passenger seat, or on the console under the Navigation.

Hmmmm! Thanks for all the suggestions.
However, no Ipod (I'm a Luddite), no wallet (I have no money)
Perhaps it was the loose change, if it happens again I will take care to take note.

I had no idea they were hermetically sealed but it's good to know!

Now, if they're really indestructable, you need to coat one with peanut butter and give it to your dog. If it survives intact, then I'm REALLY impressed!

Well, if one is inclined to do that, it's nice to know it can be run through the washing machine when it is, um, retrieved.
 
Please don't anyone do this to a poor, little doggie!!

I recently heard that if your key fob and cell phone come in close proximinty and a call comes to your cell phone, your key fob will be rendered useless forever. Any truth to that?
