    I have not had that problem with mine. I have used it multiple times at the beach or on a hiking trail where I don't want to have to keep up with my keys. So I have used it hours after locking it and it works. Sometimes I do have to punch the code in more than once. I figured it is a distance issue since I have it mounted in my truck bed but it always works at least after punching it in a second time. Not sure what the cause would be for that problem. I am very happy with mine. Still on the original battery in mine.

    Do you own a Tacoma? On a second gen Tacoma there are two lock/unlock switches and associated wiring on the driver's and front passengers doors. The rocker switch on the armrest does not work for unlock after you've locked the doors from the outside, this is a security feature. There is also a lock/unlock switch attached to the door handle/key cylinder assembly. That one works at all times. Which wires did you tap?

    Update: Well, my original battery finally died tonight in the keypad. It lasted just shy of 4 years from the date of my install June 2010. Of course who knows how long it sit on the shelf before I bought it. It takes a round 3V battery like a key fob keyless entry. I'll have to buy one tomorrow after work and replace it.
