    What I find REALLY annoying is the MFD displays "Key Fob detected in car" Like, Duh! I know! I'm in the car, with the key fob! Usually that message will display if I leave the key fob in the car and I'm not in the car.

    This is typically displayed when trying to lock the car doors with a fob present. This can also happen if a door is not fully closed and you go over a bump, especially the hatchback door.

    I would have hoped that this Gen3 bug, a very unclear message, didn't roll over into Gen4.
