FOB Battery?
Anyone else had to replace the battery in their key FOB? I've replaced mine twice already. Fortunately, I haven't had any of the issues others have with starting, locking, etc. It just seems strange to me to have replaced the battery twice in two years. I have never replaced it in other vehicles I've owned. Something is obviously a constant drain on it. The first time the truck was running and I got a 'No Key Detected' indication on the dash. I was concerned it was going to shut off or something, but it didn't. The second time the dash indicator told me that the key battery was low. Luckily, it is a cheap fix (under $4.00).

I've had the same issues and have twice asked the dealer to replace the fob battery while I had it in for something else. Both times they said it was not the fob battery, that there was a programming updated that needed to be done and they did it.
One day I drove it to work, about 5 miles, with the dash saying "Key not detected". It hasn't done that since the dealer reprogrammed whatever they reprogrammed, but it does still occasionally say "Key not detected" when I first go to crank it. Only for a second then goes away.
