Unless your playing with magnents or dropping your keys in the bath tub, I don't think you'll have any problem.

Newbie here - anyone know whether you can do the reprogramming trick suggested by the audiworld tech advice with a brand new remote keyfob and a valet key in the ignition?

Amr2t, do you have two keys? If not you won't be able to program the key fob.

Of course it can lose its memory. My key otten forgets where I put it down.

If you have two keys, you can reprogram it to work.
