	Could it be a local radio ham mast which is messing with your alarm signal? I have this problem at a certain local car park. With the AA van parked in front of mine I found the radio ham signal was distorted enough to allow my fob to work. Try getting the fob as close to back seat as possible (this being where your alarm module is). Might not work but worth a go. Nev
