'Start Prevented Try Again' V70-XC70 2005

I got this error message when I went to start the car this afternoon. Never seen it before. Nothing happened when I turned the key. No noise, clicking, anything. Radio and lights seemed to work fine, so it does not seem a problem with the battery. I tried several times; again, nothing. Waited a minute or two, debated whether to call AAA, and tried again. Started right up. This is unsettling. I was close to home, but I may not be next time. Any thought about what might have caused this? Am I likely to see it again? Thanks!

    It may very well be the antenna ring needing replacement. If you have a 2nd key, try using that for a while. The next time it happens, pull the key out of the lock and try again. If it still won't start get out of the car, lock and unlock the doors and try starting again.

    If your battery is below 12V at rest, all bets are off.

    One theory is that it has to do with the key (weak fob battery??) or the immobilizer antenna ring.
