R500 EIS problems?

Greetings!!

I am hoping that someone can offer some guidance... left the house this morning, and had to turn around to come back to the house. When I did, I parked the car on the street to run in and grab what I forgot, shutting off the car and grabbing the key fob. Back in the car, and when I tried to start the car, the fob wont turn, and of course, with the car in park, I can't move it either.

One thing of note: the steering wheel is not locked, and I can seem to get a solid answer as to if it is supposed to lock or not. Also, I dont have another fob to try (trying to avoid having to spend $400).

suggestions??

how would that help? FWIW, when we first got the car, the fob battery was dead, but it would still start the car.

Did the new EIS require programming?
