Battery in the key low in power or a faulty remote receiver which is not unknown. Or the remote could be faulty ie. the key has been dropped

Hi occasionally this happens on mine also after it's been standing still for a while.
i unlock it by using the key and turn it to lock position.
At this point i notice the red Led stops flashing and the remote works again.
In this way the allarm doesn't blast off.
Hope this helps
Vince

I would say it is a slightly leaking sunroof causing condensation around the receiver which will cause an intermittent short , I currently have the headlining out of mine and now it is dry I dont have a problem.. would recommend getting the eka code which will stop you being stranded
