Battery life in FOB?
Just curious - I've had my 15 TLX for about 29 months - I'm getting the Low Battery Warning for my key fob. Anyone else from the early adopter crowd replace a battery in their key fob yet?
Seems odd to me as I've been working from home for the past year and only drive it maybe 3 or 4 times a month now.
Thanks!

Two years on ours - no low battery warning yet. Regarding usage, as I understand it the fob is transmitting all the time, not like the older systems that only transmitted when you pushed a button. Therefore, time may be as important as usage.
My wife's Cadillac ATS fob (broadcasts all the time) needed a battery at three years. My Mazda Miata (broadcasts only when asked to) needed one at five years.

I've had mine a bit over 29 months now and haven't noticed any warnings. Now I just had to replace the batteries in my home security system's key fob after a few years, but you didn't ask about that.
Of course now that I said the fob is working correctly, tomorrow, it will fail ... this is how things work with me. lol.
