Central locking weirdness - explanation?
I've noticed a few times in recent days that my remote doesn't work to unlock the car or open the boot. After a short while and a few prods it usually starts working and is then fine.
 Today, same thing, so I thought - maybe batteries needed, though I think it's not that long since I changed them. Old ones were still over 3V but I installed a new pair of CR1620s anyway. Still not working.  Tried the spare key, not used in ages, worked fine. Unlocked the car with the bad remote using the drivers door lock, fine, then started the car.  After which the remote was working again. I really haven't a clue what's going on, is it somehow getting "out of sync"? Is someone trying to remotely unlock my car assuming it has keyless entry/start? I'll see what VCDS says, if anything. Any thoughts anyone?
