Will update again if maybe that was just a fluke or not. But I did try it a few times and it worked like normal so yay!
Yeah! The receiver is in the console so any electromagnetic transmitter can interfere. The FAST system uses a super low powered transmitter in the fob (which is why the battery lasts about 2 years). Makes sense because some people have reported problems with cell phones being in the same pocket as the fob so a RFID badge might have been activated by the console or fob.
