Key Fob dying constantly?

[fadij]

the other day the display on my dash said my key fob battery is dying so i replaced it and it worked great for a couple of days and then it started displaying that the key fob was dying again...is there something i have to reset or something?

I had this issue, I replaced it 2-3 times the FIRST year.

I mentioned it to my dealer and I don't know what or if they did anything but it hasn't been a issue since.

That happened to me when I put a dollar store battery into my fob. I got a Duracell battery and has been good since.

Do you use the transmitter (ikey buttons) often? That will drain the batter much faster.

I never use the buttons, and ever since my 1st battery change I get 3-6 months out of a battery, its annoying as hell.

i just ignore the message but keep a spare battery around. its been more than 6 months since the message showed up and my key is still fine. sometimes itll say NO KEY when im sitting in the drivers seat but then i press the button and itll start up. the range for the remote is still pretty far, so i dont think its running out of batteries at all just a faulty error message

I seem to be gettting about 2 weeks out of my batteries(Ray o Vac Lithium). I am on the 4th battery. My other altima went 2-1/2 years before needing replacement.

Yeah, I use the 2 for 5 bucks at Wal-Mart Ray-o-vac lithiums, I get the battery dead light about a month after install but it doesnt give me problems until about 6 months but a simple pocket pool maneuver usually makes it work, when I have to put it in the fob-hole i usually switch out....

A lot of double entendres in there.
