Just wanted to let you know about a problem I had recently. I rented space to store my boat at a storage facility. They gave me a transmitter fob to open the gate. I put it on my key ring for my Avalanche. Started experiencing weird no start / shutting down after start problems. Did a Google search on RFI and passkey systems. Turns out, that key fob was screwing up the vehicle security functions. Just a FYI. This is one of the articles. http://blogs.cicerofd.org/cfd/blog/radio-frequency-interference-and-vehicles-starting/
 
Interference from RFID devices....that's interesting. Thanks for posting this.
 
I don't know if my terminology is correct, but you get the idea. This is what the transmitter looks like. No button, always transmitting.  http://blogs.cicerofd.org/cfd/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/RKKT-01.jpg
