Earthdog Posted June 13, 2013 at 11:53 AM Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 at 11:53 AM I feel dumb asking this question. So does the remote start via the FOB work for anyone? I double tap the button most times it blinks red, occasionally I get 3 green blinks but the car doesn't start. Start in terms of powering on and turning on the climate radio. I seem to get nothing at all. Coming from and ICE it just started up, so I am trying to find out do I have a problem (I assume so) but what does the remote start actually do? Sorry I realize this sounds dumb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russael Posted June 13, 2013 at 12:22 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 at 12:22 PM Are you hitting the lock button first? It goes: Lock, Start, Start. Requires 3 button pushes to make it work. Also, you CAN disable the remote start feature from within the instrument cluster's left menus. I forgot where it's buried, but it's in there. May want to check that.

larryh Posted June 13, 2013 at 12:25 PM Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 at 12:25 PM (edited) Remote start works fine for me. It preconditions the cabin, i.e. turns on the climate control system based on the last settings. It does not start the ICE (unless climate conditions are extreme).

Russael Posted June 16, 2013 at 12:29 PM Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 at 12:29 PM No problem. Mine came with a little plastic tag on the key ring that showed the sequence. It's probably in the manual too, but I never looked there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
