Try turning the KiPass fob around in your pocket....

OK, the real problem is probably the dash vibrating. It happens on C-14s occasionally. The usual fix is to lift the dash and put some type of soft shims behind it to dampen the vibration. Of course as it is a 2011 C-14, then it should be taken care of under warranty.
