You should look into getting a wireless charger. I leave my X keys in the wireless charger if it doesn't open the doors.

Check around town for a vendor that can check remote keys to see if they're transmitting a signal. No. Need to cut open the key or buy a replacement if the key ain't the issue.

Many automotive places have reader/checkers...call around to see who has them where you live.

The dealer usually warranties parts for two years - probably worth a call to see if it's still under warranty.

by the way what is the accurate procedure to activate the remote

I use a wireless charger for a tooth brush, the key fits into the base of the charger. It's a Philips wireless toothb rush.

Cool idea. I never use my sonicare anymore so if it transmits @ the 125khz then that's really a sweet coincidence.
