Have you had any issues with the ignition switch, or do you have anything plugged into the OBD port (such as the Garmin auto thing..)? Either will keep the remotes from working. Your key being hot when you pull it out of the ignition is one indication of the switch going. If you've turned the key and got nothing (no crank) its a good sign that might need replacing soon. Not a hard (or really expensive repair) just need to have the long handled torx drivers.

If its neither of those two, I'm not sure where the remote control module is, but you *can* pull one from a junked car and have it set to your car. Not entirely sure if that is something you can do or if dealer has to put software on it.

If you're not driving it "like its stolen," are you really driving?
