After opening my V70 my car will not start. I have to take the key out of the ignition and press "unlock" on the fob. and try to start the car again. Somethimes I have to repeat this several times. I have changed the battery in the fob. Anyone got any idea what is wrong

sounds like something is wrong with the security system. Unlocking the door and shutting off the alarm horn but not re-activating the ignition. I'll check threads.
