Key fob not working in cold weather only in the morning

Again Haha....again yhis morning my unit did not work. Opened the trunk. Did put 2 seconds hot air in the middle of the console.......and see my problem is solved.... but I have now to open the rear speaker console because in between you can find the unit. It will not be faulty, but needs attention, cleaning contacts and printed circuit board I think.....

When the fob itself reaches cold temps below freezing is likely when the problem occurs. Nissan key fobs in particular have this same issue, I manage a valet parking company when temps dip below freezing just about every Nissan key fob stops working. The quick fix is to heat the fob up somehow once it reaches a certain temp it will work as if the problem was non existent. It may be a indication the battery is low but without fail just about every Nissan. Fob has this problem in the cold. Haven’t experienced it much with Subaru but my guess is it’s the same issue. Bad design flaw
