    Locking and unlocking with IR remote a bit hit and miss

    sometimes it takes 3 or 4 presses of the key to either unlock or lock the car with the IR remote, do you need to be fairly acurate where you point the key or is it an indication that the batteries are getting low? If I hold the button down on the key I can see the red light come on
