2009 93 XWD Remote Access & Electrical Problems
Car sometimes won't respond to two different remotes. Use key to open....if battery not dead. Have had to "Break IN" once (legally) and jump start car after long sit. One other jump start after overnight sit.
Get warning key not in slot and system turned on even though key physically in place. Also warning steering locked. Occasional warning 3rd brake light inop but can see working. Radio/CD player has failed to come on at start couple times. Comes on later. See mileage numbers in speedo after car locked manually. Think that is part of battery drain. Something is "ON" all night that shouldn't be.
Contacting dealer Mon AM but likely not under extended warranty. Suspect some type of central "brain box" problem, probably costly.

Hi
I would be inclined to have your battery tested first. A bad or low charged battery can throw up quite a few problems.
Some Auto shops will do this for free.
With regards the central locking and key faults, you will need some one with Tech 2 who can enter the CIM and alarm systems to check for any fault codes they may have. They may be able to re-set, re-program or up date them depending upon the faults they find.
Hope its nothing too major.
Dave.
