The installation company called me just now, it took them 24 hours but they finally found the problem!!! The radio uses a GPS receive antenna for navigation. We didn't want anything attached on the outside of the car when they did the install. They put the thin sticky piece of metal (included with the unit for in-car install) on the center of the dash in the very front of the windshield. The magnetic antenna will then sit in place. The antenna was a perfect fit in this spot not noticeable and definately open to the sky since in the very front of the windshield. They finally discovered that where they put down the magnetic strip they covered over the wireless key antenna!! They created a shield over the receiver. They took it off and moved the GPS antenna slightly further up and the wireless lock system worked perfectly again. They finished installing the XM radio/traffic Nav tuner and hardwired the radio to the steering wheel controls. I will pick the car up when I am off at 5 today. I will get some pictures in the next few days and post them!! This turned out to be an awesome mod to the car!!
