i can open the boot with the key on mine without the alarm going off. RE the none starting try locking/unlocking the drivers door a load of times if you are capable take the door trim off and try spraying the lock parts with wd40 and then lock/unlock a load of times ,failing that its probs a bandit job at the dealers ,you havent had your key by any strong magnetic things have you even big speakers could maybe knacker the coding in the key
