If I don't use the car for a week or so, I notice the key FOB doesn't work and I have to unlock the door the old fashioned way. Once I get in the car and drive it a bit, the key FOB works again for the next few days, unless and until I let it sit again for a week.

Does this sound like a Key FOB battery issue, or something else? And if it's the key FOB battery, why would it start working again after I drive the car a bit?
