    On the Gen 4 you just press a button on the fob to re-activate it (see the last line on my post).

    that's how gen 3 is also, touch sensitive. when i have gloves on, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. just like the touchscreen.

    Yup, so far.
    You need to get one when you get back from Florida.

    they must have improved the sensor. does your touchscreen work with gloves as well?

    I do not use my touchscreen enough to give an answer to that. It is getting warm enough right now that I will not be wearing gloves for a while.

    Some lower trim G4 like my Trim Two is just the driver's door SKS. Some other trims have all door SKS, I believe.
