Confirm key location

I get this message almost everyday, and I am not sure how to confirm the key location. Does this happen when the battery is getting low?

Either key isn't visible to the sensor or battery is low

i also get this message because my aftermarket alarm (karr) installed by the dealer overpowers the frequency of the regular remote. a major pain in the ***!

I dont think ts the battery because when its the battery it tells you to replace it. Probably interference!

It's also possible, there's too much radio interference (running at or near the RF) where you are at, causing the car not to be able to see the fast key.

iPhone will do it for sure. If I reflash the ROM with the door open and key in pocket, it complains too. I put the key in the center when flashing just in case.
