Interference

The key fob is powered by a small transmitter that transmits an extremely short-range signal to a device in your car. Its goal is to enable your car to recognize the fob and then open its doors when you come close to it and start when you push the ignition button within.

The problem is that interference can interfere with the transmission. For example, if you are using your second-generation Apple Pencil charged while you're holding the fob, it could stop you from unlocking the car (via iGeneration).

Other electronic devices that operate on the same frequency could also interfere with the fob's signal. Garage door openers, or tire pressure monitoring devices may be affected. Even a transmitter in your home could be interfering with the tire pressure, but this would be difficult for an expert to test.
