I've been chasing an intermittent (but getting more frequent) "no fob detected message" in my DD '08 XLR for months. The manual shift feature was also affected. I couldn't just grab a downshift from drive without upshifting first, then downshifting. All of the standard fob remedies such as batteries, changing fobs were tried to no avail.
I searched for hours on the interwebs and stumbled across a mention of potential interference from an iPhone charger. Hmmm, I bought one a few months ago. So I unplugged my (aftermarket) iPhone charger from the console and viola, no more no fob messages. The charger was apparently interfering with the fob receiver, phone plugged in or not.
 
BIG thanks for that, nothing I would ever have thought of.

Never ceases to amaze me what will affect the electronics on these cars.
