Hi

I've begun to have problems with the both key fobs for my NG900 Talladega.
Most of the time, either one will unlock the doors/tailgate and disarm the
alarm, but every so often although the green and red LEDs light up on the
fob, the car doesn't respond to the doors or tailgate opening.. I've tried
replacing the fob batteries, but the problem still happens every so often -
and I'm not sure why the fault clears.

Any ideas ?

TIA

Steve
