Have you installed new batteries in both your fobs yet? If not then do so and report back.

I knbow on mine(15 Limited) that if I move the bike at all and the lights start flashing I have to wait till they stop. When I don't have my fob on me and need to move it the first thing I do is turn ignition on and wait to enter the code.
