Keyfob Battery Life w/Comfort Access

Just curious if any of you had to replace your batteries in your key fob yet?

My car is a little over a year and a half and the battery seems to be getting weaker. I need to be position my body a lot closer to get the doors to sense the fob to lock it.

Replaced it last month... so about 2 years. It should warn you on the dash. Just used my 2nd fob's battery since it's never used.

One weird thing though... sometimes idrive will momentarily claim there's no remote detected in the car even though there is... then a few seconds later it finds it.
