When i press the unlock button, the fob becomes unresponsive for 30 seconds.
then the headlights go off and i can use the fob again.
I cannot lock, unlock, or remote start during that 30 seconds.

i also notice that sometimes it takes forever for the headlights to go off after shutdown, but only sometimes.

last year i replaced the interior bulbs with red leds.
i have added passive entry using alfa obd,
and have a tazer dt married.

I would try that, but I’m pretty sure that it didn’t start acting up till after I put in the taser. I really don’t want it to be the taser, but I think that might be it I was hoping someone else had similar experience.

I would remove the Tazer if anything and see how it goes. Those are known to cause odd problems especially if you have the pin feature enabled.
