This may be of help to anyone that cannot lock the doors remotely using the key plipper. I have tried various "fixes" to no avail, but this worked for me.
Disconnect the green connector on the driver's side near the ECU. Start the car and drive the car for approx 30 minutes. At the end of the drive with the engine still running reconnect the green connector. Turn off the engine, remove the key and try locking the car remotely.
