My 2013 BRZ has been with me for about 4 years now. The keyless entry has been pretty easy to use. However, starting from 1 month ago, sometimes it becomes very slow to respond. For example, I have to stay near the door for about 2 minutes this morning for it to respond. Once it worked for the first time, it worked well for the rest of the day. So I think it should not be a battery problem with the key or the car battery. The symptom is mostly consistent with the wireless unit inside the car cannot 'wake' immediately when the key is nearby. It might go into a 'sleep' mode overnight.

Has anybody had similar experience before and what is likely the cause or solution for this problem? Thanks a lot for the help. It is quite annoying to wait a while every morning.
