GO 920T
Step 1: Wrestle to get 920T remote open
Step 2: Put new, national brand name (Duracell), alkaline batteries in the remote in preparation for next day
Step 3: Blue remote light gets all happy, eventually shuts off.
Step 4: Next morning, get in car, use remote 1-2 times during a 20-minute drive for simple changing of some preferences.
Step 5: Drive home, use remote 1-2 times during a 20-minute drive to skip tracks in the Jukebox.
Step 6: Next day, activate remote. Remote blinks blue/red/blue/red, allows a few keypresses and quickly dies.

What gives? Would other Bluetooth devices within range keep it awake and exhaust the battery maybe? Like a cell phone, or a headset? Does it *need* to initialize with the 920T unit after a battery change in order to shut off properly? I know I read elsewhere that the battery dies kinda' fast, but that's insane.
