Key fob problem

i had the issue on my 04. it was just occasional and not easily reproduced. it was in my old apartment and i began to notice it happening mostly when walking down the sidewalk to my car. there were two people in my complex that were sharing their internet with a wireless setup and their apartments were aligned with the sidewalk. i think the wireless signal was interfering with my fob's signal.

i took it to the dealer. they could not reproduce the problem but did reprogram the system for a different frequency. after that, it happened a few more times, but not since i moved from that place this past July. after i moved, it was only 6 weeks before i had my accident and on my new Prius with smart key, i have yet to see if the fob unlock works.

 

should be covered. it happens from time to time, they give you a new programmed fob and you're on your way.
