Locked out

Anyone have this happen? Stopped at Home Depot, came back out and couldn't unlock car. Neither just touching the handle, or pressing the unlock button would open it. Boot wouldn't open either. 5-10min later worked fine. I was not amused.

Yes I had this happen to me. Walked around car putting my hand in all the doors and in a minute or 2 the door unlocked. Was feeling a little anxious when it happened. Not a dull moment to be honest.

Which "remote" were you using to gain entry (since you say you pressed the button...the NFC card (#4) can be ruled out)? The display key or the regular 4 button remote fob? If you were using the remote fob...did you try to manually unlock the door by pulling out the blade key (C)? Just curious since we tend to forget that the doors can be manually locked/unlock.

I'm in the US so only one key option the 4 button one. No, I didn't try the physical key. Actually forgot about that.

Unfortunate. Sorry to hear about that. Don't forget you can remove the door handle keyhole cover to gain access if you have the physical key.

Interested to hear if it happens again.
