that's it exactly. but there is a "sleep" mode apparently for the key fobs if NOT the car! after some days they will go to sleep. inserting the key into the door wakes them up after a push of the unlock button.

a double click of the remote and ONE chirp confirms you have DE activated the interior alarm ( which again,.. i thought put it to "sleep" meaning not "awake" eg seeking an infrared signal ). however, two chirps indicates a fault with the central locking or alarm system.

while one chirp, as we agree, simply indicates the console/gbox or trunk is open. the "sleep" or standby mode is so the car isn't always ON and seeking an infrared signal from the keyfob. that's the best i could do just now.. but it beats the work i should quite possibly be doing. lol

 

I think the sleep you're referring to is when you lock the car and don't unlock for 5 days, the remote is disabled and you have to use the key to unlock the car. I believe the car ignores the remotes after that period of time, not sure why.

 

i guess thats my argument then. if i only click it once and my car sets for a week it will kill the battery. if i double click it i can go a week and the car will start.
seems i got the term "sleep mode" from here

 

exactly. i tend to double click and battery tend

 

to save energy.
