Interference may sometimes hinder communication. If you charge your second-generation Apple Pencil while holding the fob (via iGeneration) it may prevent you from unlocking your vehicle.

Other electronic devices that use the same frequency as the fob can interfere with its signal. This could include garage door openers and tire-pressure monitoring systems. It is even possible that an RF transmitter inside your home could be interfering with the fob's signals, but this would be difficult to determine without an expert test.
