My car is a 2006 Toyota. I have not had a single problem with it since I brought it home from the dealership in '05. Yesterday, when I got home, I got out of the car and locked it with the remote and it worked just fine. Then this morning when I went to leave I hit the unlock button, and nothing. The lights didn't flash, doors did not unlock. I tried lock and unlock a couple of times.There was no response whatsoever from the car. So I went in the house and grabbed the spare and got the same result. It is highly unlikely that the battery is dead in both units. I unlocked the car by key and then went to work. BUT, when I got to work and tried to lock the car with the remote, it locked it with flashy lights and all. I retried it a couple of times and it's fine. Our remote doorbell went haywire last night too around 11:00. My husband thinks there might be some sort of interference with the electronic equipment in our neighborhood (hasn't happened before). Any explanations?

It's possible that something or someone is interfering with the electro frequencies in your area. I had the same problem with a Toyota Camry car alarm years ago and I had to have the alarm disarmed due to a very angry neighbor. Unfortunately, it may be hard to determine, because, it could be many things that you will never see. If, it continues happening, take it to the dealer and ask if there is a way to adjust the system.

LOL.. Did you see the movie "Poltergeist" ?
I think hubby is probably right about that. I would ask the neighbors to see if they've experienced something similar.
Did you buy any NEW appliances lately? (Microwave, Fridge..) What about the neighbors?
Whichever the case, It certainly does not sound like there is malfunctioning equipment in the vehicle itself.
