As a matter of interest, with the remote in my left pocket, I can open the driver's door, but the passenger door will not open. If I walk around to the right side of the car with the remote still in my left pocket, the passenger door will open. Also, moving the remote from my left pocket to the center of the car allows the passenger door to open. The signal strength between the remote and the receiver(s) in the car is apparently very low. This might explain some of the peculiarities documented in this thread. |

None of my business, but are you referring to your shirt pocket or your trouser pocket? In almost every case and / or scenario that you have described, could your physical body itself be putting up some type of barrier between your fob and the item that you are unlocking / using. Just a thought. The remote signal strength may not be strong enough to overcome the resistance your body might be establishing.
