iPhone stops car from starting.......
When I have my keys and my phone in the same pocket, my car will not respond. I have done this on several occasions and the car has failed to start, and it is much more difficult getting it to unlock as well. Kinda weird that it causes interference with the key fob.

Strange..I've never had it where the car would not start, but I have had the keyless entry feature fail a couple times when I touched the back of the handle. I think that's usually a user error though, I sometimes grab the handle rather quickly before the antenna can detect the key, perhaps? Or maybe it's that cell phone interference you are experiencing..

No problems here either...BUT I NEVER purposely keep the iPhone and the keyfob in the same pocket...Its easy to scratch the iPhone screen or worse crack it...so iPhone stays in a pocket with cash bills only and key fob stays in pockets with change....

hmmm interesting. I had no idea phones could interfere/drain a phones battery. I got a sony ericsson P1 and recently its been happening to me, maybe a handful of times. I didnt know what the deal was at the time but i do remember the phone and the key were in the same pocket and were in direct contact with each other. Other wise the key works fine
Since this has only started to happen to me recnelty i think its a combination of two things, the battery dying and the key being in direct contact with a phone. Im gonna test out my theory with my spare key later this afternoon
