sounds like yu have a bad remote key. as for the brake noise, remove the pads and install antisqueal paste to the back off the pads(metal side) and along the sides where they touch the calipers. I live in Cleveland and we deal with this on a regular basis. MB brake paste is prefered but you can purchase some at local parts store.

pull batteries. make sure each one is above 3V's. thats generally the threshhold. if not you'll have to replace the antenna module. some people thinks the battery is okay cuz it starts the car but that's not the case. you're rellying on your radio freuency here

no that is fine. as long as you've never had aftermarket tint on rear window, i'd go after the antenna control module.

before you go tearing your headliner out i would check the #8, 7.5 amp fuse in the rear fuse box. if good check and see if you panic alarm works. could have shorted alarm siren, would cause both problems in adistion to vehicle not locking.
