Just when I was starting to wonder if my two unexplained trunk openings were pocket accidents, based on the experiences reported here, I had a new adventure with the fob today. When getting into the car using smart key after a trip to the store, the panic alarm went off. The fob was in my coat pocket, with no pressure against it. This was not operator error.

Although I accept that there are pocket accidents, I'm now certain the remote can be triggered by other means.
