Unhappy

My Clifford is 4-months old and has exhibited the following on four occasions over the last two weeks.

NB
I do not use auto-arm, auto-lock, remote valet, wipe my butt mode.

1. Exit the car taking the ignition key with you. Wait a minute or so while you fumble with bags etc.
2. By this time, the system has armed the immobiliser only. The red light flashes slowly.
3. Attempting to fully arm (any key fob) is ignored.
4. Attempting to disarm is ignored - including key-in, move to start! Bugger if you want to leave!!
5. You have to wait about 5-minutes before trying again and it will behave itself.

I suspect:
1. RF circuit intermittant - but don't understand the later recovery.
2. Software/CPU crashes and watchdog timer kicks in (for those in the know).
3. A secret programmed mode - but it's been okay for 3.5 months?

Any experiences before I go back to the dealer.....
