My car is still doing the trick where the remote will not unlock the car when it has been left out in the sun. Yesterday I left the window down and the top up as we did not expect rain. I locked the car with the key fob. after about 4 hours in the sun I attempted to unlock the car with the key fob and unsurprisingly it did not respond. What shocked me was that when I reached into the car and attempted to open the door with the interior door handle it did not budge. Should the door open from the inside when locked with a key?

I ended up using a mechanical door key to open the door which set off the alarm. inputting the ECU shut off the alarm.

I am sure the alarm would go off but it would be nice to be able to open the door from the inside when locked.

My door lock and unlock together when the remote works but if I need to use a door key and I set the alarm off the boot / other door will remain locked unless I hit the central locking button. Even after driving for a bit then exiting the car I need to hit the central locking button to unlock the boot and other door.

it does not sound like the door actuator is the problem as both doors lock when I use the mechanical key or if the button works.

Anyone else having issues with their remote working inconsistently?
