Remote Key Operation

Anybody else having annoying problems with the remote locking and unlocking of doors on your turbo ?
Both keys work fine about 75% of the time but out of the blue, it malfunctions. I end up standing next to the car and pushing the remote over and over to get it to work. If I get impatient and unlock the car by using the keyhole, the alarm goes off.
It is totally unpredictable when this might occur. I expect a better remote in a car of this price range.

I seem to remember reading about similar topic on this forum but cannot seem to find it. I will be taking the car in for service in about 2 weeks and want to be able to tell the advisor that it's not the remote battery. I think there was another topic about a recent TSB on 03 turbos. Thanks for your help.

I will still have the dealer see if he can 'hook me up'
