OKAY! It is in with my money! I will have to put it
somewhere else, although I don't know where, since my other
pocket contains keys. I'll play with this idea.

We've noticed that its close proximity to our BT enabled cellphones in the
same pocket can cause the car not to 'see' the fob.

Now THAT'S another possibility, since I may very well have had
my cell phone clipped onto the pocket the fob was in. It
didn't happen today, so that is good. I'll try to pay
attention to all the variables if it happens again.
I will say that what I have dubbed "mindful driving" seems to
work best with this car. If I don't pay attention, my mileage
is not as good....

Jean, I'm sort of glad you mentioned the "No start of the AC." Mine did the
same thing yesterday when I got ready to leave. Maybe we both hit the AC or
Auto button on the steering wheel?
Dunno, but it was weird though as I had to go back into the Climate Display
and re-hit Auto to get it to work again. Today it behaved as it should.
Maybe a "real" glitch? I'll bring it up at the 5K service.

I am wondering the same thing: could I have hit the setting
on the wheel as I exited the car? I don't think so, but it is
possible. I guess I'll start keeping a little list....
