Had my srt8 in to the tint shop to get my replacement windshield tinted. They spent 2+ hours with the door open/dome lights on. When I go to leave, the FOB is not detected and had to pull out the start button and start it the old fashioned way. Tested it when I got home and sometimes it would work and sometimes not. I changed the battery and tried my spare fob with the same results. Currently I'm charging the vehicle battery to see if that had anything to do with it. Anyone else run in to this issue?
key fob not detected

It ended up being the car battery. Between windshield replacement and the tinting install, my doors were open/dome lights on for 4 or 5 hours. After a few hours on the float charger, my battery "topped off" and the issue resolved itself. I guess the "no FOB detected" is a potential indicator of poor battery health.
