Left the head lights on? Or bad alternator?

Do you have Keyless Go? I killed my battery when I first got my car because I didn't understand all the workings of KG. Called Roadside assistance and they were here within 30 minutes and installed a new battery.

Yes I have Keyless Go. The car is in the driveway, I'm waiting for my box to recharge. What did you discover about the KG?

The thing I did wrong was to open the drivers door before shutting off the motor. When you do this it leaves the accessories on. When I first got the car I thought that everything would shut off by itself when I left the area, which of course it does not.

Now that you mention that..... I may have done that. Like I said, I drove it last on Thurs., parked it and no one (That I know of) has been in it since.
