Key not recognized

i mean, the door and ignition recognizes my key.

But my navi and radio won't come on sometimes, and I can't get the car into gear.

Sometimes, this doesn't happen at all.

Sometimes, this last for 10 seconds.

Sometimes, this lasts for 15 minutes.

Eventually it recognizes the key and act normal.


Please help!

Electronic devices can interfere with your fob signal. Cell phones, laptops, even cell phone chargers plugged into the cig lighter can cause a loss of signal.
